1
00:00:00.920 --> 00:00:01.600
Are you ready?

2
00:00:01.840 --> 00:00:03.279
Yeah, Okay, let's do it.

3
00:00:03.319 --> 00:00:07.839
Ill Martinez Live a program about current events, our culture,

4
00:00:08.199 --> 00:00:13.880
our values, our politics, and our future. And now Bill Martinez.

5
00:00:15.480 --> 00:00:17.800
Welcome, Morning, Welcome, six minutes after the top the hour.

6
00:00:17.879 --> 00:00:21.239
Right now, I'm Bill Martinez. He's Peter Lemage, and it's

7
00:00:21.280 --> 00:00:24.039
great to have Peter here. Peter is an attorney, he's

8
00:00:24.079 --> 00:00:28.879
a Republican strategist and a first generation immigrant from socialists

9
00:00:29.000 --> 00:00:34.000
Albania who's devoted his career to defending freedom and constitutional principles.

10
00:00:34.039 --> 00:00:37.000
Nothing like a little bit of socialism to convert you

11
00:00:37.159 --> 00:00:39.719
to conservative principles.

12
00:00:39.200 --> 00:00:43.840
Right, Thank you for having me. I mean, I never

13
00:00:43.920 --> 00:00:49.920
thought that thirty seven years ago, when I left Socialist Albania,

14
00:00:50.280 --> 00:00:52.079
I would come to the United States and have to

15
00:00:52.119 --> 00:00:57.119
deal with the exact same failed liberal socialistic policies that

16
00:00:57.159 --> 00:00:59.759
are left behind in Eastern Europe. And this is something

17
00:00:59.759 --> 00:01:02.320
that should perturb each and every one of us, because

18
00:01:02.359 --> 00:01:07.439
America is not compatible with the socialistic values that we

19
00:01:07.560 --> 00:01:10.439
are important bringing them to the United States. And this

20
00:01:10.519 --> 00:01:14.079
is something that bothers me because my kids and you know,

21
00:01:14.159 --> 00:01:17.079
generations to come, they expect us to put up a

22
00:01:17.120 --> 00:01:20.760
fight against this ideology, which is evil. And it's going

23
00:01:20.879 --> 00:01:26.040
to weaken, if not destroy, United States. When Arnold TOYNB

24
00:01:26.200 --> 00:01:28.840
years ago said that great civilizations are not murdered, they

25
00:01:28.840 --> 00:01:33.040
commit suicide. Are we, the United States of America, committing

26
00:01:33.079 --> 00:01:36.680
suicide by importing this ideology into our country and having

27
00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:40.280
one of the largest cities, one of the most powerful

28
00:01:41.000 --> 00:01:43.359
cities in the United States, New York City, being led

29
00:01:43.400 --> 00:01:47.239
by a socialist today? Really? Is it buggles my mind?

30
00:01:48.159 --> 00:01:50.959
Yeah, yours and most of our audience, I will say,

31
00:01:51.760 --> 00:01:54.599
you know, and as you say, Peter, when you put

32
00:01:54.640 --> 00:01:58.799
our constitution up against the ideology of these socialists, these

33
00:01:58.799 --> 00:02:02.519
democratic socialists, you know, the question I get asked all

34
00:02:02.560 --> 00:02:05.920
the time is how can they take an oath of

35
00:02:05.959 --> 00:02:10.479
allegiance to the United States of America when they're supporting socialism,

36
00:02:10.759 --> 00:02:13.560
which is a direct anathema to the Constitution.

37
00:02:16.159 --> 00:02:22.800
The most perturbing segment of this whole thing is that

38
00:02:23.159 --> 00:02:27.240
you have these non American born citizens, including me, coming

39
00:02:27.280 --> 00:02:29.439
to United States, and when you get sworn in to

40
00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:33.840
become an American citizen, you pledge allegiance to the constitutions,

41
00:02:33.879 --> 00:02:36.039
to the flag, to the Constitution of the United States,

42
00:02:36.039 --> 00:02:38.840
and to the flag. And then the following day, if

43
00:02:38.879 --> 00:02:42.560
you will. Once they become American citizens, they try to

44
00:02:42.680 --> 00:02:47.960
dismantle the exact same Republican form of government that gave

45
00:02:48.039 --> 00:02:51.560
them the opportunity to become American citizens. And we have

46
00:02:51.599 --> 00:02:54.199
seen this with Mondemic, we have seen this with other

47
00:02:54.319 --> 00:02:58.039
people who are members of the United States Congress right.

48
00:02:57.879 --> 00:03:00.840
Now, exactly, yeah, yeah.

49
00:03:00.879 --> 00:03:03.599
Trevor Louden, a good friend of the show, has been

50
00:03:03.680 --> 00:03:07.120
unrepeatedly and reported earlier this year, which was quite shocking,

51
00:03:07.479 --> 00:03:11.120
that there were over one hundred card carring Democrats, socialists

52
00:03:11.120 --> 00:03:13.639
that have been elected to office that are in our government.

53
00:03:14.039 --> 00:03:18.080
I mean, you talk about a near and clear present danger.

54
00:03:20.159 --> 00:03:22.680
The immigration policies in the United States have been a

55
00:03:22.680 --> 00:03:25.840
complete failure. We have been importing people who are not

56
00:03:25.919 --> 00:03:29.919
compatible with our values. They come to United States pretending

57
00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:33.199
to be persecuted and prosecuted for whatever reasons. They come

58
00:03:33.199 --> 00:03:36.680
to United States, they are granted some sort of relief,

59
00:03:36.840 --> 00:03:40.000
they become American citizens, and then the moment they become

60
00:03:40.039 --> 00:03:44.400
American citizens, actually they turn on the United States. And

61
00:03:44.639 --> 00:03:47.400
when Mandowney got sworn in, we completed a form called

62
00:03:48.039 --> 00:03:50.759
and four hundred. He got sworn in to protect and

63
00:03:50.800 --> 00:03:53.800
defend the Constitution in the United States. Nowhere in the

64
00:03:53.800 --> 00:03:57.319
Constitution of the United States is the word socialism mentioned,

65
00:03:57.680 --> 00:04:01.759
yet openly he claims that he's a Democrat socialist. What

66
00:04:02.360 --> 00:04:05.360
is that supposed to be a socialist? As a socialist

67
00:04:05.639 --> 00:04:08.719
that is all but command and control. So he comes

68
00:04:08.759 --> 00:04:11.879
to United States, becomes an American citizen, and then he

69
00:04:12.000 --> 00:04:16.680
wants to dismantle the exact system that made him successful

70
00:04:16.720 --> 00:04:19.399
in this country. And it's it's it's uh. It really

71
00:04:19.600 --> 00:04:23.399
abolished me and uh many people who came to United

72
00:04:23.399 --> 00:04:26.639
States like I did that we escaped that failed ideology,

73
00:04:26.959 --> 00:04:30.959
came to the United States, Uh, succeeded in the United

74
00:04:31.000 --> 00:04:34.439
States or live in the American dream and helped someone

75
00:04:34.560 --> 00:04:38.399
like us who comes from those failed countries trying to

76
00:04:38.480 --> 00:04:42.839
destroy and dismantle what we achieved here. It's it's mind bolding.

77
00:04:43.040 --> 00:04:45.759
It is it is well, Peter, you know, in some cases,

78
00:04:45.759 --> 00:04:47.360
I mean, you got these young kids that have been

79
00:04:47.639 --> 00:04:51.920
indoctrinated by these professors who aren't even United States citizens.

80
00:04:52.240 --> 00:04:55.240
They hate our country, and these young kids have been

81
00:04:55.319 --> 00:04:59.959
lied to. And so it really was a setup from Dona.

82
00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:02.920
It was a perfect stage setting for him to walk

83
00:05:02.959 --> 00:05:06.759
in and be able to guess act like a pied

84
00:05:06.800 --> 00:05:09.120
piper for these young kids. Because even when you talk

85
00:05:09.160 --> 00:05:11.319
to these young kids and say, do you realize if

86
00:05:11.319 --> 00:05:15.040
you were really overseas and you were in a socialist

87
00:05:15.160 --> 00:05:19.319
or a totalitarian government, you would be thrown off of

88
00:05:19.399 --> 00:05:21.800
roofs sir. You know there'd be other things that would

89
00:05:21.839 --> 00:05:24.120
happen to you that wouldn't be all that pleasant. Well,

90
00:05:24.120 --> 00:05:26.959
but that's okay, they say. I mean, it's like you

91
00:05:27.040 --> 00:05:31.319
have no idea. I mean, what a stupid response, you know,

92
00:05:31.439 --> 00:05:35.079
And here you are, Peter, You've experienced firsthand and it's

93
00:05:35.120 --> 00:05:37.839
nothing to play with the have no idea what it

94
00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:40.040
means to have somebody knocking on your door in the

95
00:05:40.040 --> 00:05:41.800
middle of the night and saying, hey, look at we

96
00:05:41.920 --> 00:05:44.279
hear you might be doing this or that, and just

97
00:05:44.399 --> 00:05:47.680
based on any kind of earsday, you know, you're you're

98
00:05:47.720 --> 00:05:49.639
taken out of your home and thrown into jail.

99
00:05:50.560 --> 00:05:52.439
If I may share this with you in your audience,

100
00:05:52.560 --> 00:05:57.040
here's the here's the true story with socialism and communism.

101
00:05:57.399 --> 00:06:02.639
One of my brothers and I escaped communists Albedia. We

102
00:06:02.680 --> 00:06:06.240
could have been killed, if nothing else, arrested, beaten and

103
00:06:06.279 --> 00:06:09.399
tortured because we wanted to search for freedom and opportunity.

104
00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:13.040
The moment the government agents found out that we left

105
00:06:13.079 --> 00:06:17.000
Albania illegally from their point of view, they showed up

106
00:06:17.240 --> 00:06:20.040
and the only people who had guns were government agents

107
00:06:20.079 --> 00:06:23.040
socialist agents because they had disarmed the population prior to

108
00:06:24.120 --> 00:06:28.800
They detained my family, including my parents, seven siblings that

109
00:06:28.800 --> 00:06:31.399
I left behind, nces and nephews, took them to a

110
00:06:31.439 --> 00:06:35.360
concentration camp, and they tortured my father to death because

111
00:06:35.399 --> 00:06:38.639
he had failed to notify the government that his sons

112
00:06:38.720 --> 00:06:42.000
wanted to search for freedom. I always tell people that

113
00:06:42.079 --> 00:06:44.680
my father was willing to die so his sons could

114
00:06:44.680 --> 00:06:47.480
live in freedom. And we found freedom here, an opportunity,

115
00:06:47.480 --> 00:06:50.000
and we live in the American dreamed. But if anyone

116
00:06:50.079 --> 00:06:55.600
tells you that socialism works, socialism enslaves its own population.

117
00:06:56.240 --> 00:06:58.879
My family and I were owned by the government. We

118
00:06:58.879 --> 00:07:01.399
were told what to do, what to think, what goes

119
00:07:01.439 --> 00:07:04.279
to attend. We had to stand in line to get

120
00:07:04.279 --> 00:07:06.879
a law of bread, and if they ran out of it,

121
00:07:06.959 --> 00:07:11.040
you couldn't complain about it. We were enslaved. The first

122
00:07:11.120 --> 00:07:14.319
time I ever tasted freedom, why it was when I

123
00:07:14.319 --> 00:07:17.759
came to United States, And if the American boor citizens,

124
00:07:17.879 --> 00:07:21.279
especially in the younger generation. They believe that socialism work.

125
00:07:21.639 --> 00:07:23.879
You can look at the Russia, you can look at

126
00:07:23.879 --> 00:07:27.079
the you know, Eastern Europe. You can look at Venezuela,

127
00:07:27.120 --> 00:07:29.079
you can look at China, you can look at Cuba.

128
00:07:29.199 --> 00:07:33.360
You don't see people from the Western world escaping into those.

129
00:07:33.160 --> 00:07:34.680
Countries, right exactly.

130
00:07:34.720 --> 00:07:37.800
People from those countries escape into the Western world, including

131
00:07:37.800 --> 00:07:41.480
the United States. I think that we have failed to

132
00:07:41.680 --> 00:07:47.839
educate our younger generation when it comes to comparing socialism,

133
00:07:47.959 --> 00:07:52.800
which is a failed evil ideology, with capitalism and republicanism,

134
00:07:52.839 --> 00:07:56.600
which gives you the opportunity to flourish and succeed in

135
00:07:56.639 --> 00:07:59.199
the Western civilization. And we have to do a better

136
00:07:59.279 --> 00:08:01.480
job actually in these two ideologies.

137
00:08:02.120 --> 00:08:05.160
Well, Peter, I think we've underestimated the power of socialism

138
00:08:05.199 --> 00:08:07.839
to your point, because here in America we've had it,

139
00:08:08.040 --> 00:08:10.600
you know, all things considered fairly easy.

140
00:08:10.759 --> 00:08:12.839
Yeah, we've had issues. I mean we're not perfect.

141
00:08:13.160 --> 00:08:16.279
We you know, like our Declaration of Independence talks about

142
00:08:16.279 --> 00:08:20.120
that aspirational goal of moving toward a more perfect union.

143
00:08:20.560 --> 00:08:22.800
It's been a process. But you look at you know,

144
00:08:22.959 --> 00:08:27.319
near two hundred and fifty years of our history. Boy, Taya,

145
00:08:27.879 --> 00:08:29.959
you know, we got we got, we made some mistakes,

146
00:08:30.120 --> 00:08:32.159
but we got a lot right here. Or we wouldn't

147
00:08:32.200 --> 00:08:34.399
be the superpower that we are today, would we.

148
00:08:35.440 --> 00:08:39.080
Look or human beings? And what the founding fathers gave

149
00:08:39.159 --> 00:08:42.759
us this republican form of government. They were geniuses. They

150
00:08:43.159 --> 00:08:47.440
given up a democracy of kingdom. They hit many options,

151
00:08:47.720 --> 00:08:50.039
but they said, we're going to have a republican form

152
00:08:50.120 --> 00:08:53.240
of government where everyone is going to be treated equally

153
00:08:53.399 --> 00:08:57.320
under the law. They said that the Declaration of Independence

154
00:08:57.360 --> 00:09:01.080
clear the stays that our rights come from God, the

155
00:09:01.159 --> 00:09:04.600
old Man, live, liberty and pursuit of happiness. No other

156
00:09:04.759 --> 00:09:07.320
nation the work has this exactly.

157
00:09:07.759 --> 00:09:09.600
And we have to Peter, we got to go to

158
00:09:09.679 --> 00:09:11.240
quick break. Let's pick it up on the other side.

159
00:09:11.240 --> 00:09:12.639
More from Peter Lamage.

160
00:09:12.720 --> 00:09:14.080
Right after this stay with us.

161
00:09:15.360 --> 00:09:17.879
The holidays are back at Starbucks. So share the season

162
00:09:17.919 --> 00:09:21.799
with a peppermint Moocha, Starbucks signature Espresso Velvetymocha and cool

163
00:09:21.840 --> 00:09:24.960
peppermint notes topped with whipped cream and dark chocolate curls.

164
00:09:25.200 --> 00:09:27.799

00:12:19.240 --> 00:12:22.120

Eight term victory.

225
00:12:26.480 --> 00:12:31.080

226

and disrupting businesses. Police responded with tear gas and arrests

227
00:12:35.039 --> 00:12:37.440
for the people of Cameroon, who were already dealing with

228
00:12:37.559 --> 00:12:42.799

229

We're back with you, Bill Martinez here with Peter Lamaje

250
00:13:53.120 --> 00:13:58.080
and attorney of Republican Strategists, first generation immigrant from Socialists Albania.

251
00:13:58.279 --> 00:14:00.000
Let me ask you first, and then we're going to

252
00:14:00.080 --> 00:14:03.519
to pick up where we left off. You're in Albania.

253
00:14:04.200 --> 00:14:07.679
How did you hear about America in such a way

254
00:14:08.200 --> 00:14:11.120
that you left your parents behind? And I'm sure you

255
00:14:11.200 --> 00:14:13.399
and your brother left knowing that this was going to

256
00:14:13.440 --> 00:14:14.679
put your family in danger.

257
00:14:17.200 --> 00:14:22.000
There was a radio station called Voice of America. Oh yeah,

258
00:14:22.039 --> 00:14:25.919
and my father and his brother, my uncle Jack, they

259
00:14:25.960 --> 00:14:28.559
would listen to that Voice of America every single night,

260
00:14:29.159 --> 00:14:34.720
and they understood that there is a greater opportunity out

261
00:14:34.799 --> 00:14:38.279
there and they would listen to it. And sometimes we

262
00:14:38.480 --> 00:14:41.440
the children did the same thing, listen to Voice of America.

263
00:14:41.480 --> 00:14:43.879
But when they were listening to it, they would bring

264
00:14:43.919 --> 00:14:46.159
the curtains down on the windows, make sure that they

265
00:14:46.240 --> 00:14:48.679
locked the doors and that no one else was there

266
00:14:48.840 --> 00:14:51.840
but them and the family members, because we knew that

267
00:14:51.919 --> 00:14:57.159
every family would have someone compromised by the communist regime

268
00:14:57.159 --> 00:15:00.360
who would spire you, listen to you, and noted the

269
00:15:00.399 --> 00:15:03.639
government that this is what you're doing right. It was

270
00:15:03.679 --> 00:15:08.000
an amazing transition, if you will. When my three brothers

271
00:15:08.000 --> 00:15:13.080
and I decided to escape, it was my family was

272
00:15:13.120 --> 00:15:18.000
subjected to such a horrible treatment that describing it to

273
00:15:18.039 --> 00:15:20.960
American born citizens, they will never understand that even my

274
00:15:21.039 --> 00:15:23.759
own chips were born in the United States and raised

275
00:15:23.759 --> 00:15:26.320
here when I tell them the story, like I cannot

276
00:15:26.320 --> 00:15:29.720
believe this thing can happen, Yes, it could. Human beings

277
00:15:30.000 --> 00:15:36.320
who believe in this ideology called socialism communism, they become evilized.

278
00:15:36.639 --> 00:15:40.919
They have no mercy or mistreating their political opponents. What

279
00:15:41.080 --> 00:15:45.679
happened in nineteen sixties in Albania, they started persecuting and

280
00:15:45.720 --> 00:15:49.720
prosecuting anyone who disagreed with them, and the Communist government

281
00:15:49.759 --> 00:15:52.679
were the only ones who wore the guns to forcefully

282
00:15:54.120 --> 00:15:58.480
make people submit to their ideology. Otherwise you would have

283
00:15:58.480 --> 00:16:03.919
been subjected to tortures, arrests, and you know, even eliminations completely.

284
00:16:04.279 --> 00:16:08.240
I've seen my own friends being executed because they wanted

285
00:16:08.240 --> 00:16:12.080
to escape. I've seen my own friends, my generation being

286
00:16:12.159 --> 00:16:16.799
dragged by military cars through town to terrorize anyone who

287
00:16:16.840 --> 00:16:19.639
disagreed with the communist regime. It's not happening in the

288
00:16:19.720 --> 00:16:22.399
United States right now, but please don't tell me that

289
00:16:22.480 --> 00:16:23.720
it cannot happen.

290
00:16:23.960 --> 00:16:25.279
It exactly tells.

291
00:16:25.039 --> 00:16:28.200
You that the government cannot mistreat you. The founding for

292
00:16:28.240 --> 00:16:31.000
others were very clear when they established the Second Amendment.

293
00:16:31.360 --> 00:16:35.559
They wanted us to be able to arm themselves, to

294
00:16:35.600 --> 00:16:40.279
bear arms against a tyrannical government if need be, because

295
00:16:40.320 --> 00:16:43.799
they understood that the government can be abusive to its

296
00:16:43.840 --> 00:16:47.080
own citizens, but for the fact that we can defend ourselves.

297
00:16:47.120 --> 00:16:50.039
And I hope the American citizens understand this well.

298
00:16:50.039 --> 00:16:52.320
We got a little taste of it on January the sixth, Peter,

299
00:16:52.759 --> 00:16:55.639
I'll say that, and especially with breaking news that came

300
00:16:55.679 --> 00:16:58.200
out over the weekend in terms of who was placing

301
00:16:58.240 --> 00:16:59.080
that bomb out there.

302
00:16:59.120 --> 00:17:02.279
But you know that's the topic. Let me let me ask.

303
00:17:02.080 --> 00:17:05.519
You when you were there in Albania, how how did

304
00:17:05.519 --> 00:17:09.680
the communists doctrine begin What did they tell you initially

305
00:17:10.079 --> 00:17:12.440
to make you think that this was all going to

306
00:17:12.480 --> 00:17:13.279
be hunky dory.

307
00:17:14.920 --> 00:17:17.759
My father always said that, based on what he had

308
00:17:17.799 --> 00:17:21.079
seen and heard before, you can vote socialism in You

309
00:17:21.119 --> 00:17:23.720
can vote communism in but then you need a bloody

310
00:17:23.839 --> 00:17:28.640
revolution to dismantle it. They were empty promises. They drove

311
00:17:28.720 --> 00:17:33.960
the wedge between various classes in Unionedsty and Albania. They

312
00:17:33.960 --> 00:17:38.400
would tell people that, you know, there is a way

313
00:17:38.440 --> 00:17:43.000
of getting you rich without having to do anything for living.

314
00:17:43.559 --> 00:17:48.000
They dispossessed the middle class and the upper class, if

315
00:17:48.039 --> 00:17:52.279
you will. Eventually everybody became poor because they dismantled anyone

316
00:17:52.319 --> 00:17:54.960
who was producing anything. The same thing is happening in

317
00:17:55.000 --> 00:17:58.920
the United States when you have people being promised that

318
00:17:59.000 --> 00:18:01.799
you don't have to pay let's your student loan, you

319
00:18:01.960 --> 00:18:03.599
have to pay for rent, you don't have to pay

320
00:18:03.680 --> 00:18:09.000
for transportation. These are promises that cannot be kept. But

321
00:18:09.119 --> 00:18:12.720
at the end, if these people start disagreeing with the person,

322
00:18:12.799 --> 00:18:15.920
the individual of the leader who's making these promises, they

323
00:18:15.960 --> 00:18:19.279
would be the first victims because they are the ones

324
00:18:19.319 --> 00:18:22.799
who embraced this kind of ideology and now they're opposing

325
00:18:22.799 --> 00:18:25.920
it because they know that these promises cannot be delivered.

326
00:18:26.160 --> 00:18:28.400
And this is how it started in Albania. I mean,

327
00:18:28.480 --> 00:18:31.559
you know, it started in nineteen fourties, came to nineteen

328
00:18:31.599 --> 00:18:35.079
sixty seven when they shut down all the churches. Nobody

329
00:18:35.079 --> 00:18:39.319
can go to church God and you know, was replaced

330
00:18:39.359 --> 00:18:42.119
by the government. You have to pledge allegiance to the government,

331
00:18:42.240 --> 00:18:45.359
to the leader of the Communist Party, and the whole

332
00:18:45.400 --> 00:18:49.079
thing within the Albanian population became a joke. We just

333
00:18:49.119 --> 00:18:52.920
couldn't express it because we know that this is a joke.

334
00:18:53.200 --> 00:18:55.880
You cannot tell people that God doesn't exist. You cannot

335
00:18:55.880 --> 00:18:58.119
tell people that you're gonna be saved by Jesus Christ.

336
00:18:58.279 --> 00:19:00.599
You cannot tell people that in the institute that has

337
00:19:00.640 --> 00:19:04.279
existed for two thousand years, you know, should be shut

338
00:19:04.359 --> 00:19:07.119
down and beer replaced by the institution, the communist part

339
00:19:07.240 --> 00:19:10.960
that was just established. I mean people understood this. They

340
00:19:11.079 --> 00:19:13.799
just had the fear in their bones that if they

341
00:19:13.839 --> 00:19:16.559
were to oppose this kind of geology at this time,

342
00:19:16.599 --> 00:19:19.000
they would have been killed. And many people were killed

343
00:19:19.000 --> 00:19:19.599
because of that.

344
00:19:20.160 --> 00:19:23.079
What was Albania like before the Communists?

345
00:19:23.559 --> 00:19:28.200
It was a European country. It was western and.

346
00:19:30.720 --> 00:19:34.640
Did I miss you for a second, No, no, no, you're okayd.

347
00:19:34.000 --> 00:19:36.759
It was a Western country. It had a middle class,

348
00:19:36.759 --> 00:19:41.200
it had an upper middle class, it was capitalistic, and

349
00:19:41.240 --> 00:19:44.960
then within ten to fifteen years everything was destroyed.

350
00:19:45.240 --> 00:19:47.440
Religion was a big thing there there in Albania.

351
00:19:47.519 --> 00:19:50.720
Right, it was a big thing because if you look

352
00:19:50.759 --> 00:19:53.519
at Albania, they had three different religions. The southern part

353
00:19:53.640 --> 00:19:57.680
is the Orthodox, the Greek Orthodox, Central Albanians Muslim and

354
00:19:57.720 --> 00:19:59.960
Northern Albanian's Catholic. And I grew up in Northern Albani,

355
00:20:00.759 --> 00:20:03.920
but we always got alan with each other. When the

356
00:20:03.920 --> 00:20:07.599
Communists came to power, they shut down all the Orthodox churches,

357
00:20:07.640 --> 00:20:10.119
they shut down the moss and they shut down the

358
00:20:10.319 --> 00:20:14.319
Roman Catholic churches. And you know, eventually, I mean, you know,

359
00:20:14.440 --> 00:20:18.039
the Communist party became you know, the God if you

360
00:20:18.119 --> 00:20:20.599
will or God and all that, right exactly. It doesn't

361
00:20:20.640 --> 00:20:23.839
mean that the people embraced it, but we were forced

362
00:20:23.880 --> 00:20:25.480
to embrace it, at least publicly.

363
00:20:25.920 --> 00:20:26.279
Yeah.

364
00:20:26.359 --> 00:20:30.039
Well, just like Hitler's Germany, right, it wasn't one hundred percent.

365
00:20:30.160 --> 00:20:33.559
It was ninety percent of the Germans just went along

366
00:20:33.599 --> 00:20:36.759
to like you say, like the Albanians to survive. It

367
00:20:36.799 --> 00:20:40.799
was only ten percent that actually became fascist and were

368
00:20:41.079 --> 00:20:43.480
you know, agents of Adolf Hitler.

369
00:20:44.000 --> 00:20:48.240
Absolutely, it was always the minority that is imposed its

370
00:20:48.279 --> 00:20:51.200
will on the majority. It was about ten to fifteen

371
00:20:51.240 --> 00:20:55.000
percent of these Albanian communists actually who took over the

372
00:20:55.000 --> 00:20:59.680
the entire country. And you know, seeing seeing your own

373
00:21:00.079 --> 00:21:05.240
rance endure what a human being shouldn't endure. It broke

374
00:21:05.279 --> 00:21:07.799
my heart when I see when I see my father

375
00:21:08.640 --> 00:21:11.160
standing up to get a loaf of bread for his kids,

376
00:21:11.440 --> 00:21:14.240
and if they ran out of bread, the government ran

377
00:21:14.279 --> 00:21:17.039
out of bread, he would come home without bread and

378
00:21:17.440 --> 00:21:21.160
having to tell his kids that we don't have any

379
00:21:21.200 --> 00:21:25.759
bread for tonight. I mean, this is something that I

380
00:21:25.759 --> 00:21:30.880
don't get it when American born citizens would embrace that ideology,

381
00:21:31.160 --> 00:21:33.960
and if they think that they can do better than

382
00:21:34.359 --> 00:21:39.240
what the founding fathers of socialism did, they are wrong,

383
00:21:39.319 --> 00:21:42.519
they are mistaken. Look, I've seen that movie. I was

384
00:21:42.559 --> 00:21:45.240
born and raised in the communist country. I've seen that

385
00:21:45.319 --> 00:21:47.599
movie before, and I don't like the ending of it.

386
00:21:47.759 --> 00:21:51.720
And I would fight against that ideology to the last

387
00:21:51.759 --> 00:21:54.720
of my bread because I know it is evil. And

388
00:21:55.640 --> 00:21:57.519
people who come from the said Europe will tell you

389
00:21:57.640 --> 00:21:59.640
the exact same story that I'm telling you. Is not

390
00:21:59.680 --> 00:22:02.400
that or making this up, is not to embellishing this.

391
00:22:03.160 --> 00:22:05.960
It is the truth. And I hope that American born

392
00:22:06.000 --> 00:22:09.319
citizens and others come to their senses and defeat this

393
00:22:09.440 --> 00:22:11.119
ideology as soon as possible.

394
00:22:12.000 --> 00:22:15.440
Peter you know, I think of what your father sacrificed

395
00:22:15.640 --> 00:22:19.039
for his family, and this is the price of freedom

396
00:22:19.079 --> 00:22:19.519
that we pay.

397
00:22:19.640 --> 00:22:20.680
Freedom is not free.

398
00:22:21.039 --> 00:22:25.839
I mean, we have millions of Americans who have sacrificed

399
00:22:25.880 --> 00:22:30.039
their lives to preserve freedom in America. And you've got

400
00:22:30.039 --> 00:22:33.319
people who are coming in from other countries and you know,

401
00:22:33.359 --> 00:22:36.599
their ideas and theories that have never worked. We have

402
00:22:36.680 --> 00:22:40.240
two hundred and fifty years of proven history of this

403
00:22:40.319 --> 00:22:45.200
democratic republic. And you know, as you said, our young

404
00:22:45.240 --> 00:22:51.000
people have been have been propagandized, if I can put

405
00:22:51.000 --> 00:22:53.519
it that way, and they've been told a bunch of lies.

406
00:22:53.680 --> 00:22:57.319
And your voice is so important because they need to

407
00:22:57.400 --> 00:23:00.640
hear from you. I often say, I'm here in Florida, Peter,

408
00:23:01.119 --> 00:23:03.119
and we get every year, you know, we get a

409
00:23:03.119 --> 00:23:05.960
lot of college students that will come, you know, to

410
00:23:06.200 --> 00:23:09.160
Miami to go to the beaches and everything. I'm saying, Hey,

411
00:23:09.160 --> 00:23:11.079
look at you need to make a hard ride. Go

412
00:23:11.119 --> 00:23:13.839
to kya Ocho over there with the Cubans. Talk to

413
00:23:13.880 --> 00:23:17.480
them about communism. That would be the best spring break

414
00:23:17.519 --> 00:23:20.039
of your entire life if you went there and talk

415
00:23:20.119 --> 00:23:23.160
to the people who've been there like yourself and experienced right.

416
00:23:24.319 --> 00:23:27.039
Very briefly, by May. I think it should be mandatory

417
00:23:27.279 --> 00:23:32.880
for every American citizen to send them to a communist

418
00:23:32.920 --> 00:23:36.640
or socialist country, go and see it, observe it, see

419
00:23:36.680 --> 00:23:39.559
how it works, and come back and tell me that

420
00:23:39.599 --> 00:23:43.480
socialism works. It's interesting because you don't see people from

421
00:23:43.519 --> 00:23:47.400
the Western world flee into communist countries, but we see

422
00:23:47.440 --> 00:23:51.119
people from the communist countries, so socialist countries trying to

423
00:23:51.160 --> 00:23:56.039
flee into the Western countries. And if anybody disagrees with that,

424
00:23:56.279 --> 00:23:58.480
I when I talk to my kids, I said, I

425
00:23:58.519 --> 00:24:01.000
tell them the same story that Look, if you think

426
00:24:01.000 --> 00:24:05.319
it's such a wonderful ideology, how come that we don't

427
00:24:05.319 --> 00:24:09.720
see Americans going to Cuba. Cubans wanted to come here.

428
00:24:09.920 --> 00:24:12.640
How Come we didn't see Americans playing to Venezuela, but

429
00:24:12.720 --> 00:24:16.559
we see venezuela's on China or North Korea, you name it.

430
00:24:16.920 --> 00:24:20.599
These are just common sensical things that I think our

431
00:24:20.720 --> 00:24:25.440
educational system should provide to our children, and politicians have

432
00:24:25.519 --> 00:24:27.920
to do a better job actually educating our kids when

433
00:24:27.960 --> 00:24:31.400
it comes to the comparison between these two ideologies.

434
00:24:31.720 --> 00:24:34.359
And I also say, Peter, to wrap things up, is

435
00:24:34.440 --> 00:24:39.640
it's our responsibility, individual responsibility to own your own knowledge,

436
00:24:40.000 --> 00:24:40.960
even things we're.

437
00:24:40.799 --> 00:24:43.880
Talking about today. Look at don't.

438
00:24:43.599 --> 00:24:45.920
Take our word for it, you know you check it

439
00:24:45.960 --> 00:24:49.759
out for yourself and convince yourself. Peter's giving you first

440
00:24:49.759 --> 00:24:54.680
hand experience. He's been there, done that. His father paid

441
00:24:54.720 --> 00:24:58.079
the price for his freedom today and today he's an attorney,

442
00:24:58.079 --> 00:25:02.720
a Republican strategist, and the first generation immigrant from Socialists Albania,

443
00:25:02.799 --> 00:25:04.559
so he knows what he's talking about.

444
00:25:04.599 --> 00:25:06.920
Peter, thank you so much for being with us. Take care,

445
00:25:07.079 --> 00:25:07.440

00:29:05.839 --> 00:29:16.279
Nutrition for Patriots, Hey, we're back with you.

518
00:29:16.319 --> 00:29:18.480
Bill Martinez here with Jenny Beth Martin from the Tea

519
00:29:18.559 --> 00:29:21.640
Party Patriots. She is the president and co founder. Hey

520
00:29:21.720 --> 00:29:23.000
Jenny Beth, good morning, How are you?

521
00:29:23.559 --> 00:29:26.640
Good morning, Bill. It's great to be with you. And

522
00:29:26.880 --> 00:29:28.799
by the time this airs, it'll be the day after.

523
00:29:28.880 --> 00:29:31.799
But Happy Veterans Day, a daylight to everyone who is

524
00:29:31.839 --> 00:29:33.440
a veteran and has served our country.

525
00:29:33.839 --> 00:29:37.039
Yes, a wonderful celebration. Of course, my birthday was on

526
00:29:37.119 --> 00:29:40.359
Monday as a former marine, our two hundred and fiftieth birthday.

527
00:29:40.440 --> 00:29:43.599
So it's cake all day this week.

528
00:29:44.559 --> 00:29:46.519
Well you need to have two hundred and fifty bytes

529
00:29:46.559 --> 00:29:47.240
of cake.

530
00:29:47.400 --> 00:29:49.160
I think so, But I got a long way is

531
00:29:49.200 --> 00:29:50.960
to catch up with it, especially when I'm trying to

532
00:29:50.960 --> 00:29:53.920
stay away from the sweets right now. But hey, look

533
00:29:53.920 --> 00:29:57.720
at lots maybe hopefully to celebrate here. It looks like

534
00:29:57.759 --> 00:30:01.200
the Democrats are the reput I should say, didn't have

535
00:30:01.279 --> 00:30:04.759
to press the nuclear button. It's the Democrats. They pressed

536
00:30:04.759 --> 00:30:06.559
a nuclear button on themselves, didn't they.

537
00:30:07.160 --> 00:30:11.079
Well they did, and they haven't. With all of this

538
00:30:11.200 --> 00:30:15.079
shutdown talk and everything that the country and especially the

539
00:30:15.119 --> 00:30:18.680
government employees have gone through over the last forty two days.

540
00:30:19.000 --> 00:30:22.119
The Democrats did not get any significant policy changes at

541
00:30:22.160 --> 00:30:25.160
all from the shutdown. So they're going to have to

542
00:30:25.200 --> 00:30:27.319
go back and wonder what was the point and what

543
00:30:27.359 --> 00:30:30.880
did they get out of the shutdown except to really

544
00:30:30.960 --> 00:30:33.240
upset a lot of their base, because I think a

545
00:30:33.279 --> 00:30:35.960
lot of their base or a lot of government employees

546
00:30:36.000 --> 00:30:39.839
are actually much more Democrat leaning voters.

547
00:30:40.240 --> 00:30:40.480
Right.

548
00:30:40.720 --> 00:30:44.200
Well, the thing is is that nobody wins in these things.

549
00:30:44.559 --> 00:30:48.440
I mean, it's more misery and pain. And even though

550
00:30:48.839 --> 00:30:52.559
the media backed the Democrats and trying to blame it

551
00:30:52.599 --> 00:30:55.960
on the Republicans, I mean, you have to really suspend

552
00:30:56.000 --> 00:30:58.400
reality in your own intelligence to think that it's the

553
00:30:58.480 --> 00:30:59.359
Republican's fault.

554
00:30:59.440 --> 00:31:04.279
Right, Well, yes you do. But here's the thing about shutdowns.

555
00:31:04.319 --> 00:31:05.759
I want to be a little bit careful. I always

556
00:31:05.799 --> 00:31:10.599
feel like I have to be intellectually honest. There can

557
00:31:10.759 --> 00:31:13.599
be a gain for one side or the other when

558
00:31:13.599 --> 00:31:18.440
you push for a shutdown, because you have a messaging opportunity.

559
00:31:18.880 --> 00:31:23.039
And while I don't know that the overall messaging opportunity

560
00:31:23.279 --> 00:31:26.880
that the Democrats were playing into worked well for most

561
00:31:26.920 --> 00:31:29.680
of the country and maybe not even for swing voters,

562
00:31:30.119 --> 00:31:34.440
I think it appealed to their base. And I think

563
00:31:34.480 --> 00:31:36.720
the reason that Schumer was willing to do this is

564
00:31:36.759 --> 00:31:40.160
because he wanted to look like a fighter in primary

565
00:31:40.319 --> 00:31:45.680
and the potential primary election against Alexandria A. Cassio Cortez,

566
00:31:45.720 --> 00:31:47.960
and he was trying to fend that off. So there

567
00:31:48.119 --> 00:31:53.680
is a messaging battle that can be had with shutdowns.

568
00:31:54.079 --> 00:31:56.920
Well, I would agree with you if you have the message.

569
00:31:57.000 --> 00:32:00.200
I mean, there's power in the message. And again, the

570
00:32:00.240 --> 00:32:04.039
Democrats have really lost their connection with a message, whether

571
00:32:04.079 --> 00:32:06.839
it was in the twenty twenty four election or currently

572
00:32:06.960 --> 00:32:07.440
right now.

573
00:32:07.559 --> 00:32:10.559
And another case in point is this shutdown.

574
00:32:10.680 --> 00:32:15.359
So I agree that potentially it's there, but they really

575
00:32:16.200 --> 00:32:19.559
I mean, the deal is is that it's like the

576
00:32:19.920 --> 00:32:24.240
Democrats sadly are just immune to common sense right now.

577
00:32:24.960 --> 00:32:26.440
So when you're.

578
00:32:26.240 --> 00:32:29.759
Not exercising common sense, who are you left to relate to?

579
00:32:31.039 --> 00:32:33.599
Yeah, I agree with that. I think that they are

580
00:32:34.200 --> 00:32:38.079
are not appealing to common sense. They are appealing to emotions,

581
00:32:38.680 --> 00:32:43.480
and even some of the emotions that they're appealing to,

582
00:32:43.759 --> 00:32:46.799
they're not what most people are worried about. They've lost

583
00:32:46.839 --> 00:32:50.799
touch with. They may be okay with their base, they're

584
00:32:50.799 --> 00:32:53.880
definitely playing to their base on the left, but what

585
00:32:54.000 --> 00:32:58.880
they're losing touch with is mainstream America, the middle of

586
00:32:58.880 --> 00:33:02.839
the road Americans, and certainly the American voters who are

587
00:33:02.960 --> 00:33:06.759
on the right, but men and women's sports, boys and

588
00:33:06.799 --> 00:33:13.000
girls bathrooms, talking about giving away free housing and all

589
00:33:13.039 --> 00:33:17.519
sorts of free things in New York while defunding the

590
00:33:17.559 --> 00:33:23.279
police and decriminalizing crime. Those are things that might work

591
00:33:23.319 --> 00:33:25.920
really well for their base, but they don't work with

592
00:33:26.000 --> 00:33:28.920
the average American. The average American looks at that and goes,

593
00:33:29.000 --> 00:33:30.279
what are you talking about?

594
00:33:30.640 --> 00:33:34.400
This is craziness, right, and especially when you start talking

595
00:33:34.400 --> 00:33:36.440
about healthcare and you go, wait a minute, you guys

596
00:33:36.680 --> 00:33:40.799
have had twelve years at least to fix this problem

597
00:33:41.119 --> 00:33:42.000
that you presented.

598
00:33:42.400 --> 00:33:44.279
The Nancy Pelosi said, we had to pass it and

599
00:33:44.319 --> 00:33:46.279
find out what's in it. Well, like a jack in

600
00:33:46.279 --> 00:33:48.799
the box, it popped up, and it looks like a clown,

601
00:33:49.240 --> 00:33:54.480
and it's unsustainable, and it requires tax subsidies for the

602
00:33:54.519 --> 00:33:58.200
taxpayer in order to keep it on life support. I mean,

603
00:33:58.319 --> 00:34:01.160
and then all of a sudden, now while you're closing

604
00:34:01.200 --> 00:34:04.400
down the government, you want to resolve that problem in

605
00:34:04.480 --> 00:34:05.559
a couple of weeks.

606
00:34:06.279 --> 00:34:07.319
I mean, that's idiotic.

607
00:34:08.239 --> 00:34:10.679
Well, it is idiotic. And what they're trying to do

608
00:34:10.760 --> 00:34:13.599
with healthcare is they're trying to prop up a system

609
00:34:13.599 --> 00:34:15.679
that was designed to fail from the very beginning. It

610
00:34:15.760 --> 00:34:17.639
was designed to fail so that it can drive us

611
00:34:17.639 --> 00:34:20.440
all to a single payer exystrom where there are no

612
00:34:20.599 --> 00:34:23.280
health insurance companies and we rely on the government to

613
00:34:23.320 --> 00:34:27.519
get our healthcare. And they're trying to slow that down

614
00:34:27.559 --> 00:34:29.760
because they know that that would not be popular with

615
00:34:29.800 --> 00:34:34.639
the American people. But the average American who has health

616
00:34:34.679 --> 00:34:39.440
insurance from their employer and is a taxpayer, they're paying

617
00:34:39.480 --> 00:34:42.000
for their own their own health insurance. They're paying for

618
00:34:42.079 --> 00:34:46.719
increased rates because the rates increase for everyone through the

619
00:34:46.760 --> 00:34:50.360
Obamacare law. It wasn't affordable, it was unaffordable, and everyone's

620
00:34:50.440 --> 00:34:53.239
rates have gone up an average of I think eight

621
00:34:53.280 --> 00:34:57.719
to eleven percent a year most years. And then the

622
00:34:58.320 --> 00:35:01.360
same taxpayers who are doing all that with their own

623
00:35:01.559 --> 00:35:04.079
in their own private life, with their own private income,

624
00:35:04.280 --> 00:35:07.679
also now are propping up the insurance companies and propping

625
00:35:07.800 --> 00:35:10.519
up other people who are either choosing not to work

626
00:35:10.599 --> 00:35:14.480
or or whatever it may be, from the Obamacare subsidies.

627
00:35:14.519 --> 00:35:18.440
So the tax paying, working taxpayer is getting hit three.

628
00:35:18.559 --> 00:35:21.159
It's like a triple whammy. Your own health insurance that

629
00:35:21.199 --> 00:35:24.519
you pay for the increased costs, and then the taxpayer

630
00:35:24.519 --> 00:35:28.840
bailout because Obamacare simply doesn't work. I hope that the

631
00:35:28.880 --> 00:35:35.199
Republicans do not extend the COVID era subsidies from the Democrats.

632
00:35:35.239 --> 00:35:38.760
They must be extended for Obamacare. I hope the Republicans

633
00:35:38.800 --> 00:35:42.239
do not cave on that. If they don't, it doesn't

634
00:35:42.280 --> 00:35:45.400
mean Obamacare goes away. Obamacare still exists. We just go

635
00:35:45.559 --> 00:35:49.280
back to the subsidy levels, which were already a lot

636
00:35:49.719 --> 00:35:53.840
from the original law, rather than what we did on

637
00:35:53.880 --> 00:35:56.079
top of that during COVID You're.

638
00:35:55.960 --> 00:36:01.360
Talking eighty percent subsidies, Jenny Beth before they add this

639
00:36:01.519 --> 00:36:04.480
next tronch, you know, because of COVID, right, I mean,

640
00:36:04.679 --> 00:36:06.920
like you said, this thing was a fade to complete

641
00:36:07.079 --> 00:36:08.760
from the very start, and.

642
00:36:10.440 --> 00:36:10.960
Here it is.

643
00:36:11.000 --> 00:36:13.360
I mean, and this is all brought to you by

644
00:36:13.400 --> 00:36:16.159
the Democratic Party because not one Republican voted for this,

645
00:36:16.199 --> 00:36:18.079
as I recall, that's Correig.

646
00:36:18.159 --> 00:36:19.639
Now, one Republican voted for him.

647
00:36:20.199 --> 00:36:25.000
Yeah, so hopefully, I don't know reasonable minds if that's

648
00:36:25.039 --> 00:36:28.159
even possible, or even if they just it seems like

649
00:36:28.239 --> 00:36:32.960
anytime the government's involved with anything, then that immediate yank's

650
00:36:33.039 --> 00:36:33.599
up the price.

651
00:36:34.239 --> 00:36:34.440
You know.

652
00:36:34.480 --> 00:36:36.800
It's just like you know, I was talking to somebody

653
00:36:36.800 --> 00:36:38.519
else the other day, it was like, you know, the

654
00:36:38.559 --> 00:36:42.000
government decided, oh, they were going to subsidize electric cars, right,

655
00:36:42.239 --> 00:36:44.199
and they were going to give everybody a seven thousand

656
00:36:44.239 --> 00:36:46.760
dollars incentive to buy an electric car.

657
00:36:47.079 --> 00:36:48.480
Well what did the manufacturers do.

658
00:36:48.719 --> 00:36:51.440
They raised their rates like six thousand dollars, so they

659
00:36:51.480 --> 00:36:56.559
absorbed that seven thousand dollars would be incentive to purchase it,

660
00:36:56.920 --> 00:36:59.159
and they they took the income and they put it

661
00:36:59.159 --> 00:37:02.760
in their pocket. And this is what happens with the

662
00:37:02.800 --> 00:37:05.960
system of the government getting involved. So we've got to

663
00:37:05.960 --> 00:37:09.000
find a way to decouple from the government with our

664
00:37:09.039 --> 00:37:11.519
healthcare where we can do something. I mean, I think

665
00:37:11.519 --> 00:37:14.480
what Donald Trump is doing and renegotiating drug prices and

666
00:37:14.519 --> 00:37:17.840
doing that, I think those are positive angles. But somehow

667
00:37:17.880 --> 00:37:21.119
we need to congeal this in a way to where

668
00:37:21.360 --> 00:37:25.320
the everyday American can have affordable health care and be

669
00:37:25.360 --> 00:37:27.039
able to do it on their own like we were

670
00:37:27.079 --> 00:37:32.360
doing it before utilizing our companies who we had companies

671
00:37:32.400 --> 00:37:37.599
supported healthcare and individual and course there's other healthcare programs

672
00:37:37.639 --> 00:37:40.239
that have become available as well that are quite promising

673
00:37:40.280 --> 00:37:42.039
that you know, need to get out there in the

674
00:37:42.079 --> 00:37:43.639
marketplace and get the government out.

675
00:37:43.559 --> 00:37:43.920
Of the way.

676
00:37:44.639 --> 00:37:48.519
Yeah, Bill, you're right. Several years ago I heard as

677
00:37:49.159 --> 00:37:51.719
because we fought this battle for so very long, one

678
00:37:51.719 --> 00:37:54.000
of our activists said, and it always stuck with me.

679
00:37:54.039 --> 00:37:56.159
I wish I could remember exactly which one said this,

680
00:37:56.639 --> 00:37:59.079
that they would like to see, We would know when

681
00:37:59.119 --> 00:38:03.239
we had a working health insurance model, when you can

682
00:38:03.280 --> 00:38:07.280
go get health insurance and price it out, and insurance

683
00:38:07.280 --> 00:38:10.719
companies are competing in a transparent manner to the consumer

684
00:38:11.119 --> 00:38:14.199
rather than through the employer, so that basically you can

685
00:38:14.199 --> 00:38:17.280
get insurance the same way you can get insurance for

686
00:38:17.400 --> 00:38:20.920
a car. Now, you know, it's not that necessarily car

687
00:38:20.920 --> 00:38:23.360
insurance is the best insurance that there is, but at

688
00:38:23.440 --> 00:38:27.239
least there's competition within it, and that helps drive down prices,

689
00:38:27.360 --> 00:38:32.960
increase transparency, and improve the theoretically the quality of care.

690
00:38:33.239 --> 00:38:35.960
And that is the same kind of thing we should

691
00:38:36.000 --> 00:38:39.559
be having with our health insurance instead of where the

692
00:38:39.679 --> 00:38:43.199
costs are hidden. It's very, very cloudy. It's not a

693
00:38:43.199 --> 00:38:47.840
transparent system. It goes through the employer. It just it's

694
00:38:48.039 --> 00:38:50.920
there is not competition. They have removed so much of

695
00:38:50.960 --> 00:38:55.320
the free markets from it that it harms those of

696
00:38:55.400 --> 00:39:00.000
us who want good quality healthcare. But good quality health

697
00:39:00.119 --> 00:39:03.440
care is separate from health insurance, and people forget that.

698
00:39:03.760 --> 00:39:07.000
The Democrats are saying we're fighting for your healthcare. No,

699
00:39:07.159 --> 00:39:10.360
you're fighting for health insurance. And health insurance is different

700
00:39:10.400 --> 00:39:13.639
than care. Care comes to me with my personal private

701
00:39:13.679 --> 00:39:17.639
relationship with my physician, not through the insurance company.

702
00:39:18.440 --> 00:39:19.079
Excellent point.

Yes, well, jay A, what a great day though to

790
00:43:54.000 --> 00:43:54.199
you know.

791
00:43:54.320 --> 00:43:56.159
Remember, you know, here we are in the brink of

792
00:43:56.199 --> 00:43:58.599
two hundred and fifty years Monday was my birthday. By

793
00:43:58.639 --> 00:44:01.079
the way, Marine Corps birthd Day, two hundred and fifty

794
00:44:01.199 --> 00:44:03.079
years you know, and.

795
00:44:03.679 --> 00:44:06.800
Now the Marine Corps two hundred and fifty years old, right.

796
00:44:07.719 --> 00:44:14.400
Not quite well, no, but yeah, it's just been been

797
00:44:14.440 --> 00:44:17.760
a great week and a great patriotic week with all

798
00:44:17.760 --> 00:44:21.159
that's going on, especially now that looks like maybe our

799
00:44:21.199 --> 00:44:23.400
government will be opening up and we'll get back to

800
00:44:23.440 --> 00:44:24.760
some business that's so needed.

801
00:44:25.599 --> 00:44:28.280
Well, that's great, and happy birthday too. But latedly, and

802
00:44:28.360 --> 00:44:32.239
you know, just a quick note on Veterans Day. Certainly

803
00:44:32.440 --> 00:44:36.360
respect the fact that people serve for all kinds of reasons,

804
00:44:36.400 --> 00:44:40.920
and they are free to have different opinions about public policy.

805
00:44:40.960 --> 00:44:44.199
But I will say that the American Legion has historically

806
00:44:44.239 --> 00:44:49.599
been one of the only major organizations, religious organizations, labor organizations,

807
00:44:49.679 --> 00:44:55.920
veteran organizations that has stood practically alone in opposing large

808
00:44:55.920 --> 00:45:00.519
scale amnesties and expansion of foreign worker program and things

809
00:45:00.559 --> 00:45:03.559
like that. You know, I can't speak for you or

810
00:45:03.599 --> 00:45:05.639
any other veteran, but I assume that most people who

811
00:45:05.679 --> 00:45:09.760
serve didn't serve to for a concept of a global

812
00:45:09.800 --> 00:45:13.599
marketplace or borderless ideology. They are serving their country in

813
00:45:13.639 --> 00:45:16.760
their national community. And we also applaud the American legions

814
00:45:16.800 --> 00:45:21.559
long standing support for credible immigration laws and enforcement.

815
00:45:22.320 --> 00:45:26.840
I'd say, you know, the majority of military veterans, certainly

816
00:45:26.880 --> 00:45:30.880
the ones I speak with. In fact, today Veterans Day,

817
00:45:30.920 --> 00:45:34.239
which we're recording this on this day of Veterans Day,

818
00:45:34.960 --> 00:45:37.800
November the eleventh, I'm going to be attending a special

819
00:45:37.920 --> 00:45:41.400
veterans event here in our community. In our community here,

820
00:45:41.440 --> 00:45:45.760
we have over fifty vets representing just about every branch

821
00:45:45.760 --> 00:45:49.400
of service except the Space Force. But so it's going

822
00:45:49.480 --> 00:45:51.840
to be quite the celebration that we're looking forward, you

823
00:45:51.880 --> 00:45:55.320
know to that. We got Honor Flight representatives coming in,

824
00:45:55.360 --> 00:45:59.920
which is an incredible program. Jeremy here in South Florida

825
00:46:00.400 --> 00:46:03.519
sponsor four flights a year where they're taking vets from

826
00:46:03.840 --> 00:46:06.159
I think they the last one and I was at

827
00:46:06.159 --> 00:46:09.199
that one in West Palm Beach to greet them their

828
00:46:09.239 --> 00:46:13.360
return from d C. H. There was one World War

829
00:46:13.519 --> 00:46:16.440
two vet one hundred and two years old on the flight,

830
00:46:17.199 --> 00:46:19.239
so he was he was the celeb de ajore.

831
00:46:19.719 --> 00:46:24.239
Oh absolutely, my uh, my grandfather who's passed away for

832
00:46:24.239 --> 00:46:25.880
a number of years now, was a World War Two

833
00:46:26.000 --> 00:46:28.400
VET and he was able to uh see the World

834
00:46:28.400 --> 00:46:31.400
War Two memorial in Washington, d C. And that was

835
00:46:31.440 --> 00:46:34.239
a really really special time. And of course, as you know,

836
00:46:34.320 --> 00:46:37.199
they had made the government made a really good concerted

837
00:46:37.199 --> 00:46:39.039
effort to get World War Two vets out there to

838
00:46:39.079 --> 00:46:40.000
see that memorial.

839
00:46:40.480 --> 00:46:41.880
Uh while they could.

840
00:46:42.440 --> 00:46:45.400
Yeah, yeah, my dad just missed it and uh and

841
00:46:45.440 --> 00:46:48.199
he was a medic in the European theater with Patten

842
00:46:48.800 --> 00:46:52.039
and uh and so yeah he had he had just

843
00:46:52.199 --> 00:46:53.199
he had just missed it.

844
00:46:53.320 --> 00:46:54.960
Uh, he passed just before.

845
00:46:55.119 --> 00:46:59.159
So but anyway, yeah, it's uh, it's a real special

846
00:46:59.159 --> 00:47:02.440
time to remember, you know, Uh, why why we have

847
00:47:02.519 --> 00:47:05.880
the freedoms we have, and it's for those that answered

848
00:47:05.880 --> 00:47:09.239
the call and uh and have secured our freedoms and

849
00:47:09.320 --> 00:47:11.880
so yes, the freedoms were for the United States of

850
00:47:11.920 --> 00:47:15.079
America with a boundary with the red, white and blue

851
00:47:15.079 --> 00:47:18.239
flag and uh and that's our that's our heart and

852
00:47:18.280 --> 00:47:20.880
our passion. It's an oath of office that we took

853
00:47:20.920 --> 00:47:24.519
that it doesn't even expire until the day we die.

854
00:47:24.599 --> 00:47:27.719
Jeremy so very grateful for it.

855
00:47:27.719 --> 00:47:30.159
It's a it's a cliche, and it's absolutely true that

856
00:47:30.199 --> 00:47:34.039
freedom isn't free and and some people, some people put

857
00:47:34.039 --> 00:47:35.079
more into it than others.

858
00:47:35.079 --> 00:47:37.559
And again, we're very very grateful for your service.

859
00:47:37.760 --> 00:47:39.880
Yeah, but it takes everybody, you know, even I think

860
00:47:39.880 --> 00:47:42.320
it was uh, even Roy Rogers, I think he said

861
00:47:42.320 --> 00:47:46.199
something about that even those that didn't serve, we need

862
00:47:46.239 --> 00:47:48.519
them because they're the ones that sit on the curb

863
00:47:48.559 --> 00:47:52.199
and applaud the military as they parade, you know, by.

864
00:47:52.199 --> 00:47:55.360
So that's that's right. And E one, you know, we're

865
00:47:56.159 --> 00:47:56.840
numbers USA.

866
00:47:56.880 --> 00:47:59.840
We're in the grassroots mobilization business because we believe that

867
00:47:59.880 --> 00:48:03.079
we each have as citizens, we have an obligation to

868
00:48:04.119 --> 00:48:06.480
our fellow citizens and including those who served and those

869
00:48:06.480 --> 00:48:09.559
who don't serve, to make sure that we have a

870
00:48:09.599 --> 00:48:12.360
government that is serving the interests of the national.

871
00:48:12.159 --> 00:48:14.239
Community exactly well.

872
00:48:14.280 --> 00:48:16.719
And to this end, let's talk about what Senator Jim

873
00:48:16.840 --> 00:48:19.400
Jim Banks is doing with the OPT program.

874
00:48:19.440 --> 00:48:20.559
Explain that to our audience.

875
00:48:20.800 --> 00:48:23.400
Yeah, So here we are on Veterans Day, and people

876
00:48:23.400 --> 00:48:28.840
who serve sometimes in dangerous conditions, combat conditions, they don't

877
00:48:28.880 --> 00:48:30.599
do that and then come home and say that, Oh,

878
00:48:31.079 --> 00:48:32.920
I did this so that the government can create a

879
00:48:32.920 --> 00:48:35.840
program out of whole cloth that gives employers a discount

880
00:48:35.840 --> 00:48:38.559
for not hiring American workers. That's this program called the

881
00:48:38.599 --> 00:48:42.559
Optional Practical Training Program, a program that if you didn't

882
00:48:42.599 --> 00:48:44.880
listen to your show regularly, you might say, I don't

883
00:48:44.880 --> 00:48:47.039
believe that exists. I don't believe the government would do

884
00:48:47.079 --> 00:48:48.000
that to its own people.

885
00:48:48.199 --> 00:48:48.920
But it does.

886
00:48:49.320 --> 00:48:52.039
It has been doing it for decades now. And Jim

887
00:48:52.079 --> 00:48:55.960
Banks has a bill to abolish that program. But what

888
00:48:56.039 --> 00:48:58.320
he is saying is, and he's absolutely right, is that

889
00:48:58.599 --> 00:49:01.280
because the program was never created by Congress in the

890
00:49:01.320 --> 00:49:06.159
first place, it was created by executive by the executive branch,

891
00:49:06.239 --> 00:49:09.480
the executive branch doesn't need Congress to end it.

892
00:49:09.800 --> 00:49:12.039
Now, this is not true of a lot of immigration programs.

893
00:49:12.079 --> 00:49:14.440
The President of the United States can't just say I'm

894
00:49:14.800 --> 00:49:17.400
I'm ending the H one B program or some other

895
00:49:17.480 --> 00:49:20.320
visa program. But the OPT program was created by the

896
00:49:20.360 --> 00:49:23.079
executive branch. It can be ended by the executive branch.

897
00:49:23.320 --> 00:49:26.320
President Trump could write an executive order, sign an executive

898
00:49:26.400 --> 00:49:31.159
order tomorrow to end this program that again gives it

899
00:49:31.199 --> 00:49:34.360
gives a discount in the form of tax relief to

900
00:49:34.519 --> 00:49:37.599
employers who do not hire American workers and instead hire

901
00:49:37.679 --> 00:49:40.960
foreign workers through this opt program. Jim Banks has sent

902
00:49:41.000 --> 00:49:43.440
a letter to the White House saying, please do this.

903
00:49:43.639 --> 00:49:46.199
I'm trying to do it through the legislative process, but

904
00:49:46.280 --> 00:49:47.960
you can do it through the executive branch.

905
00:49:48.760 --> 00:49:51.360
What prompted this, what was this a couple decades ago?

906
00:49:51.800 --> 00:49:54.440
What prompted the executive branch to create this?

907
00:49:54.960 --> 00:49:57.559
Well, it was it's it's a program that has morphed it,

908
00:49:57.639 --> 00:50:00.320
you know. In its original intent was it was rather

909
00:50:00.360 --> 00:50:03.239
small and rather limited. We have a foreign student program

910
00:50:03.239 --> 00:50:06.000
where people from other countries can come in and they

911
00:50:06.000 --> 00:50:08.440
can train or they can go to school for things.

912
00:50:08.480 --> 00:50:10.400
And the idea is this, you know, you come here,

913
00:50:10.639 --> 00:50:14.079
you experience America, you get the benefit of an American

914
00:50:14.159 --> 00:50:16.199
education system, you go back home, and you take those

915
00:50:16.239 --> 00:50:18.159
American values back home with you.

916
00:50:18.239 --> 00:50:19.599
That's the sort of the idea.

917
00:50:20.000 --> 00:50:22.719
But there was a program in place for people who

918
00:50:22.719 --> 00:50:25.840
were studying in certain areas of study and say well,

919
00:50:25.920 --> 00:50:27.679
let's keep them on for a little bit where they

920
00:50:27.719 --> 00:50:30.440
can do some practical training to really hone up their

921
00:50:30.480 --> 00:50:33.599
skills before they go back home. Well, that program has

922
00:50:33.679 --> 00:50:38.000
morphed over time into a long term guest worker program

923
00:50:38.599 --> 00:50:41.639
that is essentially a back door to a permanent place

924
00:50:41.639 --> 00:50:44.440
in the US labor market. And it was actually during

925
00:50:44.480 --> 00:50:50.199
the Bush administration George W. Bush Secretary Chertoff met with

926
00:50:51.000 --> 00:50:54.920
industry lobbyists from Microsoft at a dinner party in Washington, DC,

927
00:50:55.679 --> 00:50:59.119
and the lobbyist said, listen, we don't like these caps

928
00:50:59.159 --> 00:51:00.880
on these H one visas.

929
00:51:00.960 --> 00:51:02.360
We need a program, we need a way to get

930
00:51:02.360 --> 00:51:03.159
around these caps.

931
00:51:03.440 --> 00:51:06.119
And they came up with this idea of changing the

932
00:51:06.119 --> 00:51:09.760
OPT program to basically be a work around the cap

933
00:51:09.840 --> 00:51:13.400
set by Congress on other high skilled visa programs. And

934
00:51:13.440 --> 00:51:17.280
then the Obama administration expanded it to uh in terms

935
00:51:17.320 --> 00:51:19.400
of length, and then you know, by the Biden administration

936
00:51:19.480 --> 00:51:23.679
expanded it further. So this is a bipartisan mess. Everybody's

937
00:51:23.679 --> 00:51:26.199
got their hands in it. But again this is all

938
00:51:26.239 --> 00:51:29.159
done by the executive branch. Congress never voted on it.

939
00:51:29.199 --> 00:51:31.039
There was never a debate. This is why you know

940
00:51:31.239 --> 00:51:33.039
I can't show you point you to a C SPAN

941
00:51:33.199 --> 00:51:35.280
clip of a committee saying like, hey, is this a

942
00:51:35.280 --> 00:51:38.599
good idea? No, this is all just done by lobbyists

943
00:51:38.639 --> 00:51:41.079
and people in the executive branches saying this sounds great,

944
00:51:41.119 --> 00:51:41.920
let's let's do this.

945
00:51:42.000 --> 00:51:42.480
All of our.

946
00:51:42.400 --> 00:51:45.800
Donors will be really happy from the big businesses. And uh,

947
00:51:45.920 --> 00:51:48.199
but lo and behold. What it is is employers basically

948
00:51:48.199 --> 00:51:51.280
get an eight percent discount on every worker that they

949
00:51:51.400 --> 00:51:53.000
hire through this program.

950
00:51:53.079 --> 00:51:53.920
And they are workers.

951
00:51:53.960 --> 00:51:57.480
They are mostly former students who have already graduated.

952
00:51:57.880 --> 00:51:58.000
Uh.

953
00:51:58.119 --> 00:51:59.599
And it's it's it's.

954
00:51:59.360 --> 00:52:02.360
You know, it's supposedly of training program. But they're workers,

955
00:52:02.400 --> 00:52:06.039
and they are taking jobs and opportunities that could otherwise

956
00:52:06.079 --> 00:52:07.480
go to Americans.

957
00:52:07.760 --> 00:52:10.440
That's the bottom line. What's going on with layoffs?

958
00:52:10.559 --> 00:52:14.199
US companies announced the most October layoffs in twenty years.

959
00:52:14.480 --> 00:52:17.199
Yeah, this is big, you know, because of the government shutdown,

960
00:52:17.199 --> 00:52:21.079
which thankfully is over now, we don't have an October

961
00:52:21.159 --> 00:52:23.960
jobs report, and we may not get an October jobs report,

962
00:52:24.000 --> 00:52:27.719
but companies across the United States announced more layoffs in

963
00:52:27.800 --> 00:52:32.159
October than in any other October in twenty years. This

964
00:52:32.239 --> 00:52:35.360
is happening for a variety of reasons. AI is certainly

965
00:52:35.400 --> 00:52:37.639
one of them. There's a big question of mark about

966
00:52:37.679 --> 00:52:39.599
what that is going to do to the labor force.

967
00:52:39.639 --> 00:52:41.679
But this is this is impacting white.

968
00:52:41.400 --> 00:52:45.440
Collar jobs, blue collar jobs, people who need to go

969
00:52:45.480 --> 00:52:47.400
to college for jobs, people who are at high school

970
00:52:47.400 --> 00:52:50.159
graduates though, all of the cross the board. And at

971
00:52:50.159 --> 00:52:54.199
the same time, we have a legal immigration system that

972
00:52:54.280 --> 00:52:57.920
is admitting one million, over one million permanent foreign workers

973
00:52:57.960 --> 00:53:02.280
every year now getting numbers USA is we're for legal immigration,

974
00:53:02.719 --> 00:53:04.639
but we think the numbers are too high. We think

975
00:53:04.679 --> 00:53:07.440
we need to have a system that is in line

976
00:53:07.519 --> 00:53:10.360
with the actual again, the needs of the national community.

977
00:53:10.559 --> 00:53:14.039
And right now, with record numbers of layoffs being.

978
00:53:13.880 --> 00:53:17.599
Announced in one month alone, this is the time actually

979
00:53:17.599 --> 00:53:21.000
for Congress, as jd Vance said, to bring those numbers

980
00:53:21.079 --> 00:53:24.159
way way down to hundreds of thousands per year, not

981
00:53:24.280 --> 00:53:25.400
over a million per.

982
00:53:25.320 --> 00:53:28.280
Year, right exactly. Yeah, generally it's been close to a million.

983
00:53:28.360 --> 00:53:30.440
But in light of what we're trying to do in

984
00:53:30.519 --> 00:53:33.599
terms of vacating all these illegals, I mean, we can

985
00:53:33.639 --> 00:53:35.360
do with a lot less for a period of time

986
00:53:35.440 --> 00:53:37.239
until we get this squared away, don't you think.

987
00:53:37.480 --> 00:53:37.679
Yeah?

988
00:53:37.719 --> 00:53:39.880
I mean, look, the fact is is, we know it's

989
00:53:40.000 --> 00:53:41.599
very easy. There's going to be a lot of there'd

990
00:53:41.639 --> 00:53:44.119
be a lot of support for opening up the numbers

991
00:53:44.280 --> 00:53:47.199
again if we really got down into a dire situation,

992
00:53:47.320 --> 00:53:50.679
and some employers will understandably, like you say, massive numbers

993
00:53:50.679 --> 00:53:53.320
of people in the country illegally leaving the country. That

994
00:53:53.400 --> 00:53:55.559
has been disruptive in some labor markets, and you have

995
00:53:55.599 --> 00:53:57.800
a lot of employers saying I'm not getting the kind

996
00:53:57.840 --> 00:54:00.639
of the number of applicants I would like to say. Now,

997
00:54:00.719 --> 00:54:03.559
that's quite possible, But applicants is not the same as

998
00:54:03.559 --> 00:54:06.400
saying there's not any workers out there. There are clearly

999
00:54:06.440 --> 00:54:08.679
a lot of workers out there because millions of people

1000
00:54:08.719 --> 00:54:10.880
are losing their jobs and are going to lose their

1001
00:54:10.960 --> 00:54:15.119
jobs according to these layoff announcements. So the workforces out there,

1002
00:54:15.599 --> 00:54:19.559
we need an immigration policy that encourages employers to seek

1003
00:54:19.599 --> 00:54:21.880
out US labor for US jobs.

1004
00:54:22.400 --> 00:54:27.119
Well, Jeremy back got a minute left. Uscis upgraded its

1005
00:54:27.119 --> 00:54:30.760
safe system. This sounds like music to my ears. To

1006
00:54:30.880 --> 00:54:33.400
verify voter eligibility.

1007
00:54:32.760 --> 00:54:36.000
Right, right, I mean, it's hard to find a greater

1008
00:54:36.559 --> 00:54:40.719
privilege and responsibility for US citizenship than the right to vote,

1009
00:54:41.000 --> 00:54:43.679
the right to participate in your elections and government, and

1010
00:54:43.679 --> 00:54:45.920
we want to make sure that that's secure. Well, There

1011
00:54:46.000 --> 00:54:49.519
was an election last week and one of the people

1012
00:54:49.559 --> 00:54:52.239
who were was re elected was a small town mayor

1013
00:54:52.280 --> 00:54:54.360
in the state of Kansas. And the day after he

1014
00:54:54.440 --> 00:54:56.400
was re elected, he's a popular mayor. Day after he

1015
00:54:56.440 --> 00:54:59.679
was re elected, he was charged with voting illegally in

1016
00:54:59.719 --> 00:55:02.559
three different elections from twenty twenty two through twenty twenty four.

1017
00:55:02.800 --> 00:55:05.440
So this is a this is an ongoing developing case,

1018
00:55:05.800 --> 00:55:09.039
but it's another example of why, Hey, regardless of how

1019
00:55:09.079 --> 00:55:13.280
big a problem you think illegal voting is are, there's

1020
00:55:13.280 --> 00:55:15.480
a bill in Congress that passed the House. The Senate

1021
00:55:15.519 --> 00:55:17.320
needs to take it up. It's called the Save Act,

1022
00:55:17.320 --> 00:55:19.360
which is very similar to the SAVE system that you

1023
00:55:19.440 --> 00:55:23.639
just talked about from USCIS. It just verifies that when

1024
00:55:23.679 --> 00:55:27.360
you register to vote, you are actually eligible to vote.

1025
00:55:27.400 --> 00:55:30.000
This is a common sense measure. The Senate should should

1026
00:55:30.000 --> 00:55:30.519
pick it up.

1027
00:55:30.679 --> 00:55:33.760
They should put make senators actually vote on this so

1028
00:55:33.800 --> 00:55:37.639
that we can see who's for a safe, secure voting

1029
00:55:37.679 --> 00:55:38.880
system and who's not.

1030
00:55:39.719 --> 00:55:42.000
Exactly got to leave it there for now. Co President

1031
00:55:42.159 --> 00:55:44.840

Bill Martinez, why.

1055
00:57:02.599 --> 00:57:04.360
Hey, good morning to you. Six minutes after the top

1056
00:57:04.360 --> 00:57:04.599
of the hour.

1057
00:57:04.679 --> 00:57:07.360
Right now, Bill Martinez here along with Scott al the

1058
00:57:07.559 --> 00:57:12.320
one and only. Scott, of course, is a senior fellow

1059
00:57:12.400 --> 00:57:16.480
Discovery Institute. Is timeless book, Rediscovering America How the National

1060
00:57:16.519 --> 00:57:19.840
Holidays tell an amazing story of who we are. It's

1061
00:57:19.880 --> 00:57:22.000
been a number one Amazon you released in the history

1062
00:57:22.039 --> 00:57:23.239
genre for eight weeks.

1063
00:57:23.400 --> 00:57:25.320
Hey, Scott, good morning to you. How are you, Buddy,

1064
00:57:25.440 --> 00:57:25.719
good All?

1065
00:57:25.760 --> 00:57:27.159
I'm very well, thank you.

1066
00:57:27.239 --> 00:57:27.800
Well, Toya.

1067
00:57:27.920 --> 00:57:32.360
After last night's election, your book couldn't be more timely.

1068
00:57:33.360 --> 00:57:35.159
Got a young people, a lot of young people out

1069
00:57:35.159 --> 00:57:39.559
there that need to rediscover America because what they're putting

1070
00:57:39.559 --> 00:57:44.760
at risk really is their future in basically turning their

1071
00:57:44.800 --> 00:57:48.119
back on capitalism and embracing socialism.

1072
00:57:49.360 --> 00:57:53.679
Well, it's almost unbelievable that this could be happening, because

1073
00:57:53.719 --> 00:57:57.800
the record of socialism, as the years and decades go by,

1074
00:57:58.519 --> 00:58:06.880
only becomes more clearly defined. The record is that socialism,

1075
00:58:07.599 --> 00:58:12.960
because it goes against human nature, ends up creating more poverty,

1076
00:58:13.039 --> 00:58:17.280
not more prosperity, always in every case.

1077
00:58:18.639 --> 00:58:21.039
More poverty and pain. I mean, the reason that a

1078
00:58:21.079 --> 00:58:24.039
lot of these young kids are gravitating to it is

1079
00:58:24.079 --> 00:58:27.519
they think that this is their answer to avoid pain.

1080
00:58:27.920 --> 00:58:31.320
But little do they know that they're jumping out of

1081
00:58:31.320 --> 00:58:35.519
the boat and uh, you know, going into uh you know,

1082
00:58:35.719 --> 00:58:39.159
seemingly calm waters right now, But the waters churn up

1083
00:58:39.199 --> 00:58:40.960
pretty quick historically, don't they.

1084
00:58:41.480 --> 00:58:45.519
They do they do, And and we're actually seen in

1085
00:58:45.599 --> 00:58:51.320
America the results of an increasingly socialized system. What do

1086
00:58:51.360 --> 00:58:55.119
we see in America? We see more corruption than at

1087
00:58:55.119 --> 00:58:59.719
any time probably in our history. And corruption is everywhere

1088
00:59:00.400 --> 00:59:04.840
throughout the federal government. We have monies that are unaccounted for.

1089
00:59:05.000 --> 00:59:07.920
We have uh, you know, we have just abuse of

1090
00:59:08.480 --> 00:59:12.000
the of the budget of the treasury. We have government

1091
00:59:12.039 --> 00:59:16.239
agencies that were created by Congress that have no accountability

1092
00:59:16.239 --> 00:59:20.480
to anyone and spend all this money in regulating our economy.

1093
00:59:20.960 --> 00:59:25.400
So all of this has hurt the dynamism of what

1094
00:59:25.800 --> 00:59:29.639
was American greatness before. And we need to you know,

1095
00:59:29.679 --> 00:59:33.039
we need to return the authority and the accountability and

1096
00:59:33.079 --> 00:59:37.199
the responsibility to the American people and let and and

1097
00:59:37.480 --> 00:59:46.760
just let the God given creativity of human nature, uh flourish, Scott,

1098
00:59:46.800 --> 00:59:50.599
Can we do it? Government doesn't create wealth. Government, you know,

1099
00:59:50.760 --> 00:59:51.639
taxes it away.

1100
00:59:52.559 --> 00:59:56.199
Well, the question I have is, can we expect the

1101
00:59:56.360 --> 01:00:00.199
very thing that created this mess. Can we expect to

1102
01:00:00.239 --> 01:00:01.000
heal itself?

1103
01:00:02.400 --> 01:00:05.400
Well, we certainly have a great leader in Donald Trump.

1104
01:00:05.800 --> 01:00:10.000
He's not perfect, No, no one is perfect, we know that, right,

1105
01:00:10.320 --> 01:00:14.679
but he has you know, he has a clear vision

1106
01:00:14.760 --> 01:00:18.719
and he's articulated it. I mean, he was elected overwhelmingly

1107
01:00:19.199 --> 01:00:25.199
on a very clear platform of restoring you know, downsizing government,

1108
01:00:25.760 --> 01:00:33.199
restoring accountability to the people, unleashing our natural resources, reducing

1109
01:00:33.280 --> 01:00:38.360
foreign entanglements, and empowering the American people.

1110
01:00:39.119 --> 01:00:42.039
But here it is, here, it is in how many days,

1111
01:00:42.079 --> 01:00:45.440
Scott and not even a year? I mean that he's

1112
01:00:45.480 --> 01:00:48.599
been in office, and he's done a lot of great things,

1113
01:00:48.679 --> 01:00:51.199
I mean, you know, to this end. But yet the

1114
01:00:51.320 --> 01:00:55.159
voters there in these like in Virginia, in New York

1115
01:00:55.320 --> 01:01:01.559
and New Jersey are saying that's not enough. And and

1116
01:01:01.559 --> 01:01:03.960
and the thing is is that I think that uh,

1117
01:01:04.840 --> 01:01:06.239
it's like, for example, the shutdown.

1118
01:01:06.280 --> 01:01:07.360
It's been going on forever.

1119
01:01:07.400 --> 01:01:10.920
And I know that Thune and others are hesitant to

1120
01:01:10.960 --> 01:01:14.639
exercise the nuclear option, but you see, they got measured

1121
01:01:14.679 --> 01:01:17.880
based on what they did. And who cares that, you know,

1122
01:01:17.920 --> 01:01:19.719
the Democrats and Schumer and you want to call it

1123
01:01:19.719 --> 01:01:22.599
the Schumer shut down, and you know, all but four senators.

1124
01:01:22.760 --> 01:01:24.719
They don't care about that. What they care about is

1125
01:01:24.719 --> 01:01:27.239
they're in pain and they want the government opened up

1126
01:01:27.280 --> 01:01:29.920
so their snap can be restored and all these other

1127
01:01:30.039 --> 01:01:33.559
things that the Democrats are, you know, claiming that the

1128
01:01:34.440 --> 01:01:37.400
you know, the sky is falling on and you know,

1129
01:01:37.440 --> 01:01:40.239
and I think that, yes, for some people, it's it's

1130
01:01:40.320 --> 01:01:43.840
quite shocking. But for many Americans, Scott I'm hearing is like,

1131
01:01:44.320 --> 01:01:48.119
so what the government's closed? I didn't even notice, you

1132
01:01:48.199 --> 01:01:51.599
know what I mean, It's true, but yet, but yet,

1133
01:01:51.920 --> 01:01:55.599
the the you know, the commentators, especially those on the

1134
01:01:55.679 --> 01:01:57.840
left that are anti Trump, that have been building up

1135
01:01:57.840 --> 01:01:58.920
this anti Trump narrative.

1136
01:01:59.039 --> 01:01:59.960
So that's not new.

1137
01:02:00.280 --> 01:02:02.840
Ninety five ninety six percent of what they report is

1138
01:02:02.840 --> 01:02:05.440
all negative towards Donald Trump. I mean, it's almost like

1139
01:02:05.480 --> 01:02:07.920
they feel like if they say something positive about Donald Trump,

1140
01:02:07.920 --> 01:02:09.519
they got to go and take a bath and cleanse

1141
01:02:09.559 --> 01:02:10.519
themselves or something.

1142
01:02:11.440 --> 01:02:15.039
Yeah, it's crazy. You know, when we're reaping the consequences

1143
01:02:15.079 --> 01:02:18.840
of really dumbing down our population. We've been you know,

1144
01:02:18.920 --> 01:02:23.679
two three generations now have really been dumbed down by

1145
01:02:23.679 --> 01:02:26.679
a failing public education system.

1146
01:02:27.599 --> 01:02:30.599
It's yeah, but even the government system has contributed to

1147
01:02:30.599 --> 01:02:34.119
this Scott, because you've got the Democrats who basically bought

1148
01:02:34.119 --> 01:02:36.840
their votes and have conditioned them, really kind of.

1149
01:02:36.760 --> 01:02:40.159
Preconditioned them for socialism. It's like, you know, who's your daddy.

1150
01:02:40.159 --> 01:02:44.039
Your daddy is Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi's your mama,

1151
01:02:44.360 --> 01:02:46.719
and they're out there handing all these freebies for you.

1152
01:02:46.760 --> 01:02:48.840
Now you're going to replace them with mom Donnie right.

1153
01:02:50.039 --> 01:02:53.480
Well, in New York, yes, I mean, unfortunately, you know

1154
01:02:53.599 --> 01:02:56.000
Edmund Burke once said all it takes for the triumph

1155
01:02:56.079 --> 01:02:59.000
of evil is for good people to do nothing right.

1156
01:02:59.000 --> 01:03:04.280
And the New York I have just experienced that in

1157
01:03:04.559 --> 01:03:08.400
crystal clear clarity, that people did not get out and

1158
01:03:08.559 --> 01:03:12.960
vote in enough numbers to defeat Mondami. Everybody knew who

1159
01:03:12.960 --> 01:03:16.639
he was, so were where were all the voters? You know,

1160
01:03:16.840 --> 01:03:22.559
their voting participation typically is only twenty percent, so maybe

1161
01:03:22.559 --> 01:03:24.840
it was thirty percent, but all it would have taken

1162
01:03:25.119 --> 01:03:29.559
was another twenty percent participation to vote against Mondami, and

1163
01:03:29.599 --> 01:03:32.760
of course that would be a como vote. Probably the

1164
01:03:32.760 --> 01:03:35.960
outcome would have been different. Yes, I mean, And he

1165
01:03:36.000 --> 01:03:40.039
could also criticize the Republican candidate why he could have

1166
01:03:40.119 --> 01:03:42.360
seen the handwriting on the wall, he saw it two

1167
01:03:42.360 --> 01:03:47.119
weeks ago he should have withdrawn from taking his name

1168
01:03:47.599 --> 01:03:51.239
off the ballot and said, I want my voters to

1169
01:03:51.360 --> 01:03:55.880
vote for Cuomo because we have to save New York

1170
01:03:55.960 --> 01:04:01.480
from Mondami, who is a Marxist and anarchical Muslim.

1171
01:04:02.039 --> 01:04:02.760
Yeah.

1172
01:04:02.800 --> 01:04:05.559
Well, the deal is is that On one hand, I

1173
01:04:05.679 --> 01:04:09.159
understand that perspective. On the other hand, I say, the

1174
01:04:09.199 --> 01:04:14.559
Republican Party itself surrendered New York long before Curtis Sliwa

1175
01:04:15.239 --> 01:04:20.000
became the nominee and you know, won his position as

1176
01:04:20.039 --> 01:04:23.920
the Republican standard bearer. He was the sole voice for

1177
01:04:24.239 --> 01:04:28.760
conservatism and even the Trump agenda in New York, and

1178
01:04:28.800 --> 01:04:31.679
the Republican Party didn't support him because they said it's

1179
01:04:31.679 --> 01:04:33.960
a lost cause. And I think that's a you know,

1180
01:04:34.079 --> 01:04:37.719
that's a problem within the Republican Republican Party, that mindset

1181
01:04:37.880 --> 01:04:40.840
that says, hey, we're going to surrender ground. Well, what

1182
01:04:40.920 --> 01:04:44.639
happens when you surrender ground? Eventually you start, you know,

1183
01:04:44.760 --> 01:04:48.960
surrendering you know, some some serious property here. And I

1184
01:04:49.000 --> 01:04:51.880
get it, it's been a while since a Conservative or

1185
01:04:51.920 --> 01:04:54.800
a Republican has been the mayor of New York. I

1186
01:04:54.880 --> 01:04:57.440
get that, But but why give it up, Scott? I mean,

1187
01:04:57.599 --> 01:05:01.039
if nothing else, even just to have a narrative out

1188
01:05:01.039 --> 01:05:03.880
there to counter all the bs and all the lies

1189
01:05:03.920 --> 01:05:09.039
that are being told about Donald Trump and the Republican Party.

1190
01:05:09.239 --> 01:05:11.840
I mean, here at Curtis Lee, while by himself, Bray

1191
01:05:11.920 --> 01:05:14.960
and all is out there. You know, he's carrying the

1192
01:05:15.079 --> 01:05:19.280
values and the message of conservatism by himself, with no

1193
01:05:19.360 --> 01:05:20.800
help from the Republicans.

1194
01:05:21.159 --> 01:05:23.880
I know, I know, I agree with you, Bill, I

1195
01:05:23.920 --> 01:05:24.840
agree with you, you know.

1196
01:05:24.880 --> 01:05:25.840
But I but I get it.

1197
01:05:25.920 --> 01:05:28.079
I mean, in a strategy, a game of strategy, and

1198
01:05:28.079 --> 01:05:30.000
you say, hey, look at you're not going to win.

1199
01:05:30.159 --> 01:05:32.239
Maybe you need to bow out and give it a shot.

1200
01:05:32.280 --> 01:05:34.840
But even if you look at the numbers with his numbers,

1201
01:05:34.920 --> 01:05:37.000
if they all went one hundred percent, if they all

1202
01:05:37.000 --> 01:05:39.639
went to Cuomo, Clomo still wouldn't win. Because the fact

1203
01:05:39.679 --> 01:05:42.519
the matter is this. Cuomo was a terrible candidate himself.

1204
01:05:42.800 --> 01:05:47.599
I mean, he was so unenthusiastic, he wasn't energizing. Yes,

1205
01:05:47.639 --> 01:05:49.760
he's a New Yorker, and I think he has this

1206
01:05:49.960 --> 01:05:54.199
entitlement attitude. And Scott, you know that even bled out.

1207
01:05:54.840 --> 01:05:58.199
You know, from his meetings with his donors. The donor said, hey,

1208
01:05:58.679 --> 01:06:00.000
we're not going to give you any money.

1209
01:06:00.079 --> 01:06:00.599
We just don't.

1210
01:06:00.599 --> 01:06:02.840
We're not excited. We're not even convinced you really want

1211
01:06:02.840 --> 01:06:04.920
this job anyway. We got to go to quick break.

1212
01:06:04.920 --> 01:06:06.639
We've got more from Scott Powell right after this.

1213
01:06:06.719 --> 01:06:07.559
Stay with us.

1214
01:06:08.320 --> 01:06:11.119
It's the season to come together over your holiday favorites

1215
01:06:11.159 --> 01:06:14.360
at Starbucks. Warm up with a creamy caramel brew le latte,

1216

get festive with an ice gingerbread high, or share a

01:06:17.280 --> 01:06:20.360
velvetye peppermint moocha. Together is the best place to be

1218
01:06:20.639 --> 01:06:21.360
at Starbucks.

1219
01:06:22.800 --> 01:06:25.079
This is Carrie Cooper. It was a small complex of

1220
01:06:25.119 --> 01:06:27.440
bungalows in the La neighborhood of Echo Park in the

1221
01:06:27.440 --> 01:06:31.559
early seventies. The giggy and collaboration between Linda Ronstain, Glen Fry,

1222
01:06:31.599 --> 01:06:35.000
and Jackson Brown was the beginning of Southern California Rock

1224
01:06:37.880 --> 01:06:41.679
Everything is expensive right now, gas, food, you name it.

1225
01:06:41.880 --> 01:06:45.480
You're spending more, you are making the same or less money.

1226
01:06:45.840 --> 01:06:48.719
So what do you do? You rack up credit card debt.

1227
01:06:48.800 --> 01:06:52.559
That's what you do. It's not your fault, it's the economy.

1228
01:06:52.840 --> 01:06:55.400
And guess what if you rack up too much credit

1229
01:06:55.400 --> 01:06:58.039
card debt, like some of us, you can't pay your bills,

1230
01:06:58.440 --> 01:07:01.320
then the credit card companies, as nice as they are,

1231
01:07:01.519 --> 01:07:05.519
start hounding you for money, then you start your downward spiral.

1232
01:07:06.159 --> 01:07:07.199
A smart thing.

1301
01:10:42.119 --> 01:10:44.800
Hey, welcome back Bill Martinez here with Scott Powell, the

1302
01:10:44.840 --> 01:10:47.880
senior Fellow at Discovery Institute. Scott, I want you to

1303
01:10:47.920 --> 01:10:51.399
comment on you know, Cuomo as a candidate. I mean,

1304
01:10:51.399 --> 01:10:54.640
because you had this energized young kid, thirty four years old,

1305
01:10:54.680 --> 01:10:59.359
no experience whatsoever, pouring out a bunch of things that

1306
01:11:00.359 --> 01:11:03.079
we're just not true, we're not valid. But you know

1307
01:11:03.119 --> 01:11:05.439
the nature of politics is such as that, Hey, look

1308
01:11:05.439 --> 01:11:07.800
at he's going to be in there. I mean, look

1309
01:11:07.840 --> 01:11:10.880
at what happened with AOC. AOC, you know, has lost

1310
01:11:10.920 --> 01:11:13.479
more jobs for New York than she's created, but she

1311
01:11:13.560 --> 01:11:17.279
still continues to get re elected. And so the nature

1312
01:11:17.399 --> 01:11:20.199
of politics is such as that it moves slow. And

1313
01:11:20.560 --> 01:11:23.880
you know, right now the winds are favoring Mom, Donnie

1314
01:11:24.279 --> 01:11:27.720
and even you know, when you look historically at other

1315
01:11:27.800 --> 01:11:31.359
countries who moved to socialism, it wasn't like it became

1316
01:11:31.520 --> 01:11:34.720
dark overnight. It took a little bit of time, in

1317
01:11:34.760 --> 01:11:37.800
some cases up to ten years before people started realizing

1318
01:11:37.840 --> 01:11:38.399
the problem.

1319
01:11:38.600 --> 01:11:38.840
Yeah.

1320
01:11:39.000 --> 01:11:44.479
Yeah, Well darkness has descended on America really in the

1321
01:11:44.560 --> 01:11:50.640
last two or three decades, easily increasingly socialized our economy.

1322
01:11:51.560 --> 01:11:55.760
Well, we've abandoned God, Scott, and you abandon God, You've

1323
01:11:55.800 --> 01:11:58.800
abandoned the truth. That is the basis, that is the

1324
01:11:58.880 --> 01:12:03.279
basis of our lives. Without the truth, without God, you're

1325
01:12:03.359 --> 01:12:06.159
having The America that's developing right now in New York

1326
01:12:06.600 --> 01:12:07.560
is part of the symptom.

1327
01:12:08.079 --> 01:12:11.760
That's right, and we need to your a great voice

1328
01:12:12.039 --> 01:12:15.960
in reminding American people that that is our fundamental problem.

1329
01:12:16.000 --> 01:12:21.279
We need a spiritual revival in our country that has

1330
01:12:21.560 --> 01:12:24.960
breadth and depth, and I think we're seeing pockets of it.

1331
01:12:25.039 --> 01:12:27.640
I mean, we look at what happened in the aftermath

1332
01:12:28.239 --> 01:12:32.399
of the of the murder, the assassination of Charlie Kirk,

1333
01:12:32.960 --> 01:12:36.000
and we find that church attendance is up it's really

1334
01:12:36.079 --> 01:12:39.720
quite remarkable. So I think we're we're we are in

1335
01:12:39.800 --> 01:12:44.800
the midst of a spiritual revival. So maybe New York

1336
01:12:44.920 --> 01:12:47.680
just has to bottom out a little bit more before

1337
01:12:48.319 --> 01:12:53.399
they recognize that it really does matter who's who we

1338
01:12:53.479 --> 01:12:56.479
elect as mayor. We never want to assume it's a

1339
01:12:56.520 --> 01:12:59.560
fada compley, even though a lot of people, I think

1340
01:12:59.600 --> 01:13:02.640
a lot of people didn't vote because they felt it's over.

1341
01:13:02.960 --> 01:13:05.680
Mandamie's gonna win right now.

1342
01:13:06.159 --> 01:13:09.039
Well, yeah, Well the other thing that happened too, lest

1343
01:13:09.079 --> 01:13:12.159
we forget, is you already had people exiting New York

1344
01:13:12.800 --> 01:13:18.159
just as they saw the symptom of socialism and Mamdannie's rise,

1345
01:13:18.439 --> 01:13:20.600
they said, hey, we're out of here. I think something

1346
01:13:20.640 --> 01:13:23.479
like seven hundred and fifty thousand people moved out of

1347
01:13:23.479 --> 01:13:23.840
New York.

1348
01:13:23.840 --> 01:13:25.720
And a lot of those people were people.

1349
01:13:25.600 --> 01:13:29.760
Who have money, who you know, were job creators, and said, hey,

1350
01:13:29.800 --> 01:13:31.319
we're out of here. We're not going to put up

1351
01:13:31.319 --> 01:13:34.199
with this sou And they're saying, now there's another two

1352
01:13:34.239 --> 01:13:37.560
million in the queue getting ready to exit, So I

1353
01:13:37.560 --> 01:13:39.840
don't know who's going to be left for Mamdannie attacks

1354
01:13:39.920 --> 01:13:42.119
to give free bussing and everything else that he's talking

1355
01:13:42.159 --> 01:13:43.880
about Yeah, it's so sad.

1356
01:13:43.960 --> 01:13:48.159
I mean, you know, we're going to see what's happened

1357
01:13:48.159 --> 01:13:50.479
to London, happened to New York City? You know, London's

1358
01:13:50.479 --> 01:13:54.720
a funny arts capital and New York is and.

1359
01:13:54.640 --> 01:13:56.960
How lost is London right now?

1360
01:13:57.000 --> 01:13:59.880
Scott Powell, Well, I mean I watch what's going on.

1361
01:14:00.079 --> 01:14:01.199
I go what happened?

1362
01:14:01.960 --> 01:14:02.199
Right?

1363
01:14:02.840 --> 01:14:06.239
Yeah, Well what happened was they let a lot of

1364
01:14:06.319 --> 01:14:10.600
Muslims into their country who didn't assimilate and who are

1365
01:14:10.640 --> 01:14:16.399
at war with Western civilization. They are literally at war

1366
01:14:16.479 --> 01:14:20.479
with Western civilization. We invite into our country the enemy,

1367
01:14:20.520 --> 01:14:22.520
if you will. And I don't need to say there

1368
01:14:22.560 --> 01:14:25.920
aren't good Muslims who are moderates and you know who

1369
01:14:26.039 --> 01:14:29.760
are folk are family focused and all they they but

1370
01:14:29.800 --> 01:14:33.000
that's one of the problems. They tend to have larger families.

1371
01:14:33.039 --> 01:14:35.760
In other words, they when they get into a country,

1372
01:14:36.479 --> 01:14:41.479
they are creating lots of new citizens.

1373
01:14:41.479 --> 01:14:44.000
And yeah, you talk about chain migration. I mean there's

1374
01:14:44.039 --> 01:14:46.840
like they're reproducing at one.

1375
01:14:47.000 --> 01:14:48.880
It's really just having more children.

1376
01:14:49.119 --> 01:14:54.279
Because the the countries across the board in Europe and

1377
01:14:54.319 --> 01:15:00.000
even America are not replicating their numbers.

1378
01:14:59.680 --> 01:15:01.399
We let me give you an idea here, Scott, to

1379
01:15:01.439 --> 01:15:05.720
your point, in twenty ten, America had two point five

1380
01:15:05.840 --> 01:15:12.000
million Muslims. Okay, by twenty thirty, it's projected that there

1381
01:15:12.039 --> 01:15:16.000
will be six point two million Muslims in our country.

1382
01:15:16.279 --> 01:15:19.800
It's one hundred and forty percent gain. We talked about.

1383
01:15:20.279 --> 01:15:22.600
Let me see if I can find England here. Uk

1384
01:15:22.840 --> 01:15:26.760
okay u k was a two point eight in twenty ten.

1385
01:15:27.359 --> 01:15:31.159
They're projected to be at in twenty thirty five years

1386
01:15:31.199 --> 01:15:35.399
from now, expected to be five point five million, ninety

1387
01:15:35.439 --> 01:15:38.600
four percent increase. And you see already what's happening, because

1388
01:15:38.680 --> 01:15:40.800
I mean we're talking about smaller sized country versus the

1389
01:15:40.880 --> 01:15:41.960
United States and the UK.

1390
01:15:42.479 --> 01:15:45.039
But look at what they've been able to do. I mean,

1391
01:15:45.079 --> 01:15:46.560
in some areas.

1392
01:15:46.319 --> 01:15:49.640
I mean you've got, you know, five times a day,

1393
01:15:49.920 --> 01:15:54.079
the blaring sounds of prayer, the call out by the

1394
01:15:54.159 --> 01:15:58.800
Muslim mosque to pray, and it's screaming, it's annoying, it's

1395
01:15:58.840 --> 01:16:00.960
all get out. When I was in, I was shocked.

1396
01:16:01.279 --> 01:16:05.560
I couldn't believe it. Here I am I met you know, uh,

1397
01:16:05.720 --> 01:16:08.479
the the right there at the dome of the moscl course,

1398
01:16:08.520 --> 01:16:11.439
but you're there at the at the the western wall,

1399
01:16:11.479 --> 01:16:14.680
the prayer you know, the wall there and we're praying,

1400
01:16:14.960 --> 01:16:16.720
and all of a sudden, here here's this blast of

1401
01:16:16.800 --> 01:16:21.720
horns and you know, and it's just I mean, it's

1402
01:16:21.720 --> 01:16:24.239
just unbelievable. And it's like, you know, I was telling

1403
01:16:24.239 --> 01:16:25.760
my wife, I said, I don't know what I'm gonna

1404
01:16:25.800 --> 01:16:28.159
do if they started doing that in Florida, if they

1405
01:16:28.159 --> 01:16:30.159
took over in such a way and we started hearing,

1406
01:16:30.800 --> 01:16:34.039
you know, these annoying sounds, the call to prayer five

1407
01:16:34.079 --> 01:16:34.720
times a day.

1408
01:16:36.159 --> 01:16:37.000
Oh, I agree with you.

1409
01:16:37.039 --> 01:16:39.119
I've traveled through the Middle East. I I know the

1410
01:16:39.279 --> 01:16:42.279
call to prayer sounds because you hear it everywhere.

1411
01:16:43.159 --> 01:16:44.479
Uh you know, as.

1412
01:16:44.439 --> 01:16:47.920
You say, you know it's five times a day, right,

1413
01:16:48.279 --> 01:16:50.920
and it's you know, it's a loud it's a loud call.

1414
01:16:51.319 --> 01:16:51.880
Uh right.

1415
01:16:52.239 --> 01:16:54.600
So well it's and it's just a remind everybody that

1416
01:16:54.800 --> 01:16:59.840
you're you're under the influence of the Muslim community.

1417
01:16:59.840 --> 01:17:03.079
Right right, That's right, I mean, that's what that's what

1418
01:17:03.159 --> 01:17:03.479
it is.

1419
01:17:03.520 --> 01:17:07.039
It's not something that everybody in the community can go, oh, hey,

1420
01:17:07.079 --> 01:17:09.560
time for prayer. Let's all you know, kumbaya, it's all

1421
01:17:09.560 --> 01:17:12.359
going to be. No, it is, Hey, we're telling you

1422
01:17:12.840 --> 01:17:14.640
that our boot is in your ear.

1423
01:17:15.560 --> 01:17:19.560
That's right, that's right, and they know that, they exploit that,

1424
01:17:20.039 --> 01:17:23.239
they know how to how to leverage their small numbers

1425
01:17:23.279 --> 01:17:24.840
into great political power.

1426
01:17:25.760 --> 01:17:27.319
Well, it's not.

1427
01:17:27.520 --> 01:17:28.640
And that's the other thing too.

1428
01:17:28.640 --> 01:17:30.439
See, people think it's a religious moved It's not a

1429
01:17:30.520 --> 01:17:31.239
religious movement.

1430
01:17:31.640 --> 01:17:32.520
That's not what it is.

1431
01:17:33.159 --> 01:17:37.239
You know, this is this is a a a theocratic movement.

1432
01:17:37.880 --> 01:17:38.000
Uh.

1433
01:17:38.439 --> 01:17:42.159
That is all about power and control and their and

1434
01:17:42.199 --> 01:17:45.760
their doctrine. It is not a religious you know, a

1435
01:17:45.840 --> 01:17:48.880
religious entity per se. They want to present it that way,

1436
01:17:48.920 --> 01:17:49.960
but that's not the case.

1437
01:17:50.920 --> 01:17:54.600
You're absolutely right, And and all one needs to know

1438
01:17:54.800 --> 01:17:57.640
is uh is a little bit more about the founder

1439
01:17:58.279 --> 01:18:02.439
of Islam, and that was you know, Mohammed, and he

1440
01:18:02.600 --> 01:18:09.520
was he first of all, he used force, He was

1441
01:18:09.560 --> 01:18:13.279
a murderer. He killed a lot of people in his career,

1442
01:18:13.640 --> 01:18:16.600
in his rise, he killed a lot of people. He

1443
01:18:16.640 --> 01:18:19.880
had multiple wives, the youngest of which was nine years old.

1444
01:18:21.680 --> 01:18:26.439
How does God build a great spiritual religion from such

1445
01:18:26.479 --> 01:18:30.479
a founder? God can't work with such a founder. God

1446
01:18:30.560 --> 01:18:34.319
works through Jesus Christ because he was of course God's son.

1447
01:18:34.920 --> 01:18:41.720
But he epitomized the fulfillment of the Old Testament. Well,

1448
01:18:41.880 --> 01:18:44.359
another big life, good and this came out the other day.

1449
01:18:44.359 --> 01:18:47.079
I was at a Bible study with some men and

1450
01:18:47.119 --> 01:18:51.720
they said, well, you know, Muslims worship the same God

1451
01:18:51.760 --> 01:18:55.720
as Abraham. I said, that's a lie, and they were shocked.

1452
01:18:55.720 --> 01:18:57.760
They couldn't I just couldn't believe. I mean, I couldn't

1453
01:18:57.760 --> 01:19:00.520
help myself. I said, that is a bold place lie.

1454
01:19:00.840 --> 01:19:04.000
They do not worship the same God of Abraham. If

1455
01:19:04.039 --> 01:19:07.479
they did, they would worship Jesus Christ in the Holy Spirit.

1456
01:19:07.880 --> 01:19:12.199
Because go back to the Book of Genesis the opening

1457
01:19:12.239 --> 01:19:15.520
line in the beginning God, it's not God singular, it's

1458
01:19:15.560 --> 01:19:19.319
God plural elohem, It's the trijun God.

1459
01:19:19.439 --> 01:19:20.560
Is what that refers to.

1460
01:19:21.279 --> 01:19:25.399
It was the triune God working in concert to create

1461
01:19:26.159 --> 01:19:31.199
this incredible planet that we enjoy by God's grace and mercy.

1462
01:19:31.600 --> 01:19:32.720
It is not the.

1463
01:19:32.640 --> 01:19:36.399
Same God that Mohammad says. And the other thing is

1464
01:19:36.399 --> 01:19:40.119
is too the narrative of Mohammad, unlike the Christian faith,

1465
01:19:40.439 --> 01:19:44.960
which you've got documentation written within a short number of

1466
01:19:45.039 --> 01:19:48.479
decades of the death of Jesus Christ. I mean you

1467
01:19:48.520 --> 01:19:52.479
had eyewitness documentation Mohammad what was it two three hundred

1468
01:19:52.560 --> 01:19:55.880
years after he died. All these stories and narratives came

1469
01:19:55.920 --> 01:19:58.600
out right about how wonderful and what a great guy

1470
01:19:58.680 --> 01:19:59.039
he was.

1471
01:20:00.439 --> 01:20:03.079
Yes, we have to remember that he is the son,

1472
01:20:03.600 --> 01:20:07.520
you know, he is a descendant of Ishmael. Ishmael was

1473
01:20:07.640 --> 01:20:11.000
the you know what, was not the blessed son that

1474
01:20:11.159 --> 01:20:16.359
Isaac was Abraham's son. Isaac created the lineage for the Messiah.

1475
01:20:16.680 --> 01:20:23.079
Ishmael created another lineage. Ishmael was was not uh you know,

1476
01:20:24.239 --> 01:20:31.960
was was not Sarah's son. Sarah was barn from Yeah, yeah, exactly.

1477
01:20:32.119 --> 01:20:35.640
So the whole story, the whole lineage is for people

1478
01:20:35.640 --> 01:20:38.319
that really want to know history, they have to understand

1479
01:20:38.359 --> 01:20:41.680
that the lineage of the of the Muslim faith is

1480
01:20:41.720 --> 01:20:46.800
a is is really not an Abrahamic lineage.

1481
01:20:47.520 --> 01:20:49.880
Well it isn't as much as that God did tell

1482
01:20:49.920 --> 01:20:52.560
Abraham I'm going to bless him as well, but he

1483
01:20:52.680 --> 01:20:57.319
is not the chosen one. The chosen one is Isaac, rightes. Yes,

1484
01:20:57.800 --> 01:21:00.720
and that's and and that's therein is the in the road. Well,

1485
01:21:00.760 --> 01:21:03.159
we got to leave it there, Scott. There's never enough

1486
01:21:03.159 --> 01:21:07.000
time with you, you know, thank you so much, you

1487
01:21:07.039 --> 01:21:09.119

01:21:09.239 --> 01:21:11.600

1489
01:21:11.640 --> 01:21:15.760

1490
01:21:16.159 --> 01:21:18.920
How the national holidays and we're coming upon them right now.

1491
01:21:19.159 --> 01:21:21.960
I love November, Scott, because Scott reminds me, you know,

1492
01:21:22.199 --> 01:21:25.880
November reminds us Scott that it's a time for thankfulness.

1493
01:21:25.920 --> 01:21:27.840
This sets the stage, you.

1494
01:21:27.760 --> 01:21:31.720
Know, for for Christmas and God just it.

1495
01:21:31.720 --> 01:21:35.279
Was amazing at how he arranged so many things in

1496
01:21:35.319 --> 01:21:38.920
our country, including the order of the holidays.

1497
01:21:38.479 --> 01:21:39.239
Right exactly.

1498
01:21:39.439 --> 01:21:41.840
Yeah, I don't see socialists doing that, but you know, hey,

1499
01:21:41.960 --> 01:21:45.039
I digress. We'll have to stay tuned for more details.

1500
01:21:45.039 --> 01:21:46.279
Scott Pale, thank you so much.

1501
01:21:46.399 --> 01:21:48.199

We're going to be.

1576
01:26:01.640 --> 01:26:07.840
Talking about small business benefits crunch. Okay, the rising cost

1577
01:26:07.920 --> 01:26:11.239
of healthcare a growing challenge for small businesses, and many

1578
01:26:11.279 --> 01:26:14.199
employers are struggling to keep up. Premiums are expected to

1579
01:26:14.199 --> 01:26:16.520
see the biggest jump in fifteen years, as you may

1580
01:26:16.520 --> 01:26:19.520
have heard, putting coverage at risk for millions of workers.

1581
01:26:19.800 --> 01:26:23.800
And joining us is the economist doctor Andrew Chamberlain from Gusto.

1582
01:26:24.039 --> 01:26:27.079
It's a platform that helps small businesses with payroll, benefits

1583
01:26:27.079 --> 01:26:29.680
and more. He's here to break down the numbers and

1584
01:26:30.079 --> 01:26:33.720
what we can do to stay ahead of it. Doctor Chamberlain.

1585
01:26:33.720 --> 01:26:35.159
Welcome to Michelle. Good to have you with us.

1586
01:26:35.600 --> 01:26:36.399
That's great to be here.

1587
01:26:36.399 --> 01:26:39.600
Bill, Thanks, Well, we're hearing a lot about healthcare these days.

1588
01:26:40.119 --> 01:26:42.399
It shouldn't be a surprise. We saw this coming. We

1589
01:26:42.520 --> 01:26:44.880
saw it coming even back in the early days of

1590
01:26:44.920 --> 01:26:48.239
the ACA. But just how big of a challenge our

1591
01:26:48.319 --> 01:26:49.880
rising healthcare costs today?

1592
01:26:50.840 --> 01:26:54.039
That's a huge challenge. So next year, health premiums for

1593
01:26:54.119 --> 01:26:57.399
small business are expected to rise ten to thirty percent,

1594
01:26:57.840 --> 01:27:00.840
as you mentioned, the biggest increase in fifteen year, and

1595
01:27:01.279 --> 01:27:03.800
that's on top of what we found as since twenty

1596
01:27:03.840 --> 01:27:07.840
twenty two, these health benefits, even after adjusting for inflation,

1597
01:27:08.039 --> 01:27:11.560
are up like thirteen percent for small businesses. So it's

1598
01:27:11.560 --> 01:27:15.079
a big it's a big cost increase. But what's very

1599
01:27:15.079 --> 01:27:18.520
interesting is we found that the share of small businesses

1600
01:27:18.520 --> 01:27:21.279
that are offering health benefits it really hasn't budge despite

1601
01:27:21.279 --> 01:27:23.840
these cost increases. These companies are like figuring out a

1602
01:27:23.880 --> 01:27:26.600
way to take care of their workers and still make

1603
01:27:26.640 --> 01:27:27.079
it work.

1604
01:27:27.760 --> 01:27:31.000
Well, that's their most important asset is their people. And

1605
01:27:31.960 --> 01:27:36.039
maybe the planners of our government knew that it was

1606
01:27:36.119 --> 01:27:38.880
going to be the type of situation that these employers

1607
01:27:39.279 --> 01:27:41.680
had to bite the bullet on this deal. But I've

1608
01:27:41.720 --> 01:27:44.399
been saying on this show for quite a while, I

1609
01:27:44.439 --> 01:27:46.760
mean we're a lot better than this. I mean, we've

1610
01:27:46.760 --> 01:27:50.800
got the firepower, the intelligence, I believe to come up

1611
01:27:50.840 --> 01:27:53.960
with a world class healthcare system that would be a

1612
01:27:54.000 --> 01:27:55.359
win win for all concerned.

1613
01:27:55.359 --> 01:27:57.199
Doctor Chamberlain, that's right.

1614
01:27:57.239 --> 01:27:58.560
I mean, we've got to figure out a way to

1615
01:27:58.560 --> 01:28:01.239
make this work. Entrepreneurship is such an important part of

1616
01:28:01.439 --> 01:28:04.560
not only American economy, but also the culture, and you know,

1617
01:28:04.640 --> 01:28:07.079
the whole healthcare system in the United States, it's based

1618
01:28:07.079 --> 01:28:11.159
on companies offering benefits to their employees. And so in

1619
01:28:11.159 --> 01:28:14.720
this complicated environment, we're costs arising so much. What we're

1620
01:28:14.720 --> 01:28:17.000
trying to do at GUSTA is like find a solution,

1621
01:28:17.279 --> 01:28:20.359
like provide tools that make it easy to figure out

1622
01:28:20.399 --> 01:28:23.279
this landscape and like craft a custom package that will

1623
01:28:23.319 --> 01:28:25.600
actually let companies afford it and do the right thing

1624
01:28:25.640 --> 01:28:26.399
by their employees.

1625
01:28:26.880 --> 01:28:28.159
Can you be able to do this?

1626
01:28:28.199 --> 01:28:32.960
Can GUSTO do this outside you know, the government, outside

1627
01:28:33.039 --> 01:28:36.239
of the the current standards and parameters.

1628
01:28:36.399 --> 01:28:37.520
Can you come up with something?

1629
01:28:38.720 --> 01:28:41.680
Well, you know, it takes some creativity, that's for sure.

1630
01:28:41.720 --> 01:28:44.920
And that's what we're really seeing and how companies are navigating.

1631
01:28:45.000 --> 01:28:48.800
So they're like rethinking benefits to try to take costs

1632
01:28:48.880 --> 01:28:51.760
and put more control into the hands of their employees.

1633
01:28:52.000 --> 01:28:53.960
And so there's several ways they do this. So one

1634
01:28:53.960 --> 01:28:56.560
way is instead of traditional health insurance, you can offer

1635
01:28:56.600 --> 01:28:59.079
what's called a level funded plan, So this is like

1636
01:28:59.119 --> 01:29:02.840
a customized health insurance just for your employees and the

1637
01:29:02.880 --> 01:29:05.840
health benefits they need. Secondly, there's things like these health

1638
01:29:05.880 --> 01:29:08.760
reimbursement arrangements, you know, or you can move to these

1639
01:29:08.800 --> 01:29:11.479
high deductible plans where then you couple it up with

1640
01:29:11.479 --> 01:29:12.600
a health savings account.

1641
01:29:12.640 --> 01:29:13.880
So you know, in.

1642
01:29:13.840 --> 01:29:17.279
Any case, like we're here at Gusto to help companies

1643
01:29:17.359 --> 01:29:20.359
like find a benefits package that fits their budget. And

1644
01:29:20.399 --> 01:29:22.399
my most important message is it doesn't have to be

1645
01:29:22.399 --> 01:29:24.439
an all or nothing decision. So if you're a small

1646
01:29:24.479 --> 01:29:26.319
business owner and you're freaking out right now because of

1647
01:29:26.359 --> 01:29:28.960
these costs increases, my message to you is, like, there's

1648
01:29:29.000 --> 01:29:30.920
a solution. It doesn't have to be all or nothing.

1649
01:29:30.960 --> 01:29:32.520
You can kind of like piece it together and you

1650
01:29:32.560 --> 01:29:34.239
can still take care of your people and stay in

1651
01:29:34.279 --> 01:29:34.760
a budget.

1652
01:29:35.159 --> 01:29:37.840
Yeah, there's only so much you can do, you know,

1653
01:29:38.760 --> 01:29:42.199
with the current situation. I keep thinking again at a

1654
01:29:42.239 --> 01:29:46.079
grander scale, where we can get the entire labor force

1655
01:29:46.159 --> 01:29:50.239
together and leverage it against all these different providers. And

1656
01:29:50.319 --> 01:29:53.199
now we've got a bigger Baptist swing and we've got

1657
01:29:53.239 --> 01:29:55.560
a better ability to negotiate.

1658
01:29:55.720 --> 01:29:56.560
That's just my thing.

1659
01:29:56.520 --> 01:30:00.239
Because I think in terms of free market and I've negotiated.

1660
01:29:59.720 --> 01:30:02.880
All my life. My mother will tell you that, so

1661
01:30:04.359 --> 01:30:05.319
it's got to do.

1662
01:30:06.000 --> 01:30:06.159
You know.

1663
01:30:06.720 --> 01:30:09.359
So so yeah, so I think again, it's all there.

1664
01:30:09.399 --> 01:30:11.960
I mean, we've already seen some negotiations on you know,

1665
01:30:12.359 --> 01:30:15.439
of pharmaceuticals that are already happening, and it's like, Okay,

1666
01:30:15.520 --> 01:30:16.920
that's to me, is the tip of the iceberg.

1667
01:30:16.960 --> 01:30:18.840
It's an indication of things that could come yet.

1668
01:30:18.960 --> 01:30:22.279
Right, that's right, and you know, uh, the key here

1669
01:30:22.520 --> 01:30:25.720
is companies can't control the environment, but what they can

1670
01:30:25.840 --> 01:30:27.560
do is they can find a path through it right

1671
01:30:27.600 --> 01:30:31.479
for their people. So we can control costs through flexibility

1672
01:30:31.520 --> 01:30:33.640
and choice, you know. So at Gusto like we could

1673
01:30:33.640 --> 01:30:35.720
help people figure out, like how do you craft a

1674
01:30:35.760 --> 01:30:37.840
plan that can fit your budget? And I mentioned some

1675
01:30:37.960 --> 01:30:40.399
of the options, things like a level funded plan or

1676
01:30:40.760 --> 01:30:41.880
a high deductible plan.

1677
01:30:42.560 --> 01:30:44.600
You know. Another thing that is that.

1678
01:30:45.000 --> 01:30:50.680
You can offer these add on benefits things like mental health, insurance, vision, dental.

1679
01:30:50.880 --> 01:30:53.479
These are so much more affordable than a full scale

1680
01:30:53.640 --> 01:30:56.680
small business you know, health insurance plan. But they're you know,

1681
01:30:56.920 --> 01:31:00.199
employees love them. They're good for employee retention, and they

1682
01:31:00.239 --> 01:31:02.439
give a pretty good bang for the buck for small businesses.

1683
01:31:03.039 --> 01:31:06.159
Well, and I'm sure Gusto knows in terms of what

1684
01:31:06.640 --> 01:31:09.479
employees are looking for what is at the top of

1685
01:31:09.560 --> 01:31:12.359
their list versus lower on the list. So some of

1686
01:31:12.399 --> 01:31:15.880
those could be expendable those that aren't going to necessarily

1687
01:31:15.960 --> 01:31:18.119
move the needle for the employees, but you get more

1688
01:31:18.159 --> 01:31:21.800
bang for your bucket targeting those issues that are most important.

1689
01:31:21.840 --> 01:31:23.800
And you've got the facts, you've got the background and

1690
01:31:23.960 --> 01:31:27.039
understanding of you know what, you know, what's going to

1691
01:31:27.079 --> 01:31:29.439
help small businesses and their employees' best right.

1692
01:31:29.960 --> 01:31:32.880
Yeah, that's right, and you know it's to one or

1693
01:31:32.920 --> 01:31:36.319
two generations. Ago health benefits were more of a one

1694
01:31:36.399 --> 01:31:38.720
size fits all, but today we've got this kind of

1695
01:31:38.800 --> 01:31:41.760
like all the cart solutions, it's a really complicated landscape.

1696
01:31:41.760 --> 01:31:44.000
There's there's all, there's a whole spectrum of things that

1697
01:31:44.079 --> 01:31:46.600
people can offer, and so the first thing you got

1698
01:31:46.720 --> 01:31:48.159
to do is you need to go talk to your

1699
01:31:48.239 --> 01:31:51.199
people and figure out what it is your employees really

1700
01:31:51.239 --> 01:31:53.039
care about and what they don't care about. And you

1701
01:31:53.079 --> 01:31:55.279
can actually often save a lot of money just like

1702
01:31:55.439 --> 01:31:57.039
piecing together packets that way.

1703
01:31:57.159 --> 01:31:57.960
And we've got all the.

1704
01:31:58.000 --> 01:32:00.000
Tools to help you do that because we don't expect

1705
01:32:00.319 --> 01:32:03.239
most small business owners are an expert in taxes or

1706
01:32:03.319 --> 01:32:06.640
healthcare or healthcare system that they are experts at their business,

1707
01:32:06.680 --> 01:32:06.800
you know.

1708
01:32:06.960 --> 01:32:08.239
So that's what we're here at to.

1709
01:32:08.560 --> 01:32:10.640
Well, and exactly because here it is, you know, one

1710
01:32:10.720 --> 01:32:13.840
time a year, they've got to make some decisions and

1711
01:32:13.960 --> 01:32:17.000
all of a sudden, you know, set the business aside.

1712
01:32:17.199 --> 01:32:21.039
You've got to really focus on this health savings accounts.

1713
01:32:21.119 --> 01:32:24.279
You mentioned that. I got to imagine that continues to

1714
01:32:24.319 --> 01:32:25.079
be very popular.

1715
01:32:25.840 --> 01:32:26.880
Yeah, it's very popular.

1716
01:32:27.039 --> 01:32:29.359
So, you know, you can offer a high deductible health

1717
01:32:29.399 --> 01:32:31.039
insurance plan and you pair it up with a health

1718
01:32:31.079 --> 01:32:33.680
savings account. That's a great solution, especially if you have

1719
01:32:33.760 --> 01:32:36.319
a lot of younger employees who maybe don't have like

1720
01:32:36.399 --> 01:32:37.600
really intensive.

1721
01:32:37.159 --> 01:32:37.840
Health care needs.

1722
01:32:38.119 --> 01:32:40.359
But there's also these things called level funded plans that

1723
01:32:40.600 --> 01:32:43.079
people may not even know about, where you can actually

1724
01:32:43.159 --> 01:32:46.680
get customized health premium rates, you know, just for your

1725
01:32:46.840 --> 01:32:51.119
specific employees and their healthcare needs. So instead of just

1726
01:32:51.239 --> 01:32:54.239
like a you know, a regular health insurance plan, you're

1727
01:32:54.239 --> 01:32:57.319
paying premiums based on like where you're located or you know,

1728
01:32:57.359 --> 01:32:59.920
what industry you're in. These are like more custom tailoreds.

1729
01:33:00.039 --> 01:33:02.199
So these are new options that just weren't available a

1730
01:33:02.239 --> 01:33:04.760
few years ago, and we can help companies, like you know,

1731
01:33:04.880 --> 01:33:06.920
they can potentially cut like a huge chunk of their

1732
01:33:06.960 --> 01:33:08.399
health care costs off by doing so.

1733
01:33:09.239 --> 01:33:09.399
Well.

1734
01:33:09.439 --> 01:33:11.960
We're talking with doctor Andrew Chamberlain. He's an economist and

1735
01:33:12.600 --> 01:33:15.479
he's from Gusto. It's a platform that helps small businesses

1736
01:33:15.840 --> 01:33:20.279
with payroll benefits and more. So, you know, like you said,

1737
01:33:20.319 --> 01:33:23.800
there's a lot more options that are available to small businesses,

1738
01:33:23.880 --> 01:33:24.720
but you don't know what you.

1739
01:33:24.760 --> 01:33:27.479
Don't know, right, Yeah, that's exactly right.

1740
01:33:27.600 --> 01:33:27.800
Yeah.

1741
01:33:27.880 --> 01:33:30.119
So you know, one of the things that people may

1742
01:33:30.159 --> 01:33:32.560
not realize is that there's a bunch of tax benefits

1743
01:33:32.640 --> 01:33:36.279
that like can offset maybe much of the costs of

1744
01:33:36.359 --> 01:33:38.520
getting an health insurance plan set up. So one of

1745
01:33:38.560 --> 01:33:41.079
the big ones is there's a federal healthcare tax credit

1746
01:33:41.439 --> 01:33:43.880
that many companies are eligible for they may not even know.

1747
01:33:44.359 --> 01:33:46.479
And then you know, secondly, like just making you know,

1748
01:33:46.560 --> 01:33:49.800
making pre tax contributions to that those health plans like

1749
01:33:49.840 --> 01:33:52.159
that saves money both on the employee side and the

1750
01:33:52.199 --> 01:33:54.479
employer side. And so there's all kinds of ways that

1751
01:33:54.560 --> 01:33:56.560
you can like crunch the numbers. And we've got all

1752
01:33:56.600 --> 01:33:59.199
these tools here or Gusto to help automate this stuff,

1753
01:33:59.560 --> 01:34:01.720
and are is to make sure you never leave any

1754
01:34:01.800 --> 01:34:03.880
money on the table as a small business. You should

1755
01:34:03.920 --> 01:34:05.520
never leave a penny on the table when it comes

1756
01:34:05.560 --> 01:34:06.000
to taxes.

1757
01:34:06.640 --> 01:34:07.039
Exactly.

1758
01:34:07.319 --> 01:34:08.840
Well, Doc Chamberlain, we got about a minute and a

1759
01:34:08.840 --> 01:34:10.800
half left and I think it's a good opportunity for

1760
01:34:10.960 --> 01:34:14.359
us to review what we've just discussed and what what

1761
01:34:14.520 --> 01:34:16.520
are the first steps for small businesses.

1762
01:34:17.680 --> 01:34:21.279
Well, the first step is you need to assess like

1763
01:34:21.439 --> 01:34:23.880
what like what what are the needs of your employees?

1764
01:34:23.960 --> 01:34:25.960
Go talk to them, figure out what benefits they want

1765
01:34:26.000 --> 01:34:29.560
and they don't. Explore your options from level funded plans

1766
01:34:29.600 --> 01:34:32.800
to high deductible plans, to traditional health insurance, and then

1767
01:34:33.119 --> 01:34:37.680
explore vision, dental, mental health benefits. All these things give

1768
01:34:37.720 --> 01:34:39.920
you a lot of options. And the best way to

1769
01:34:39.960 --> 01:34:42.119
do that is, you know, come visit us at Gusto

1770
01:34:42.199 --> 01:34:45.479

a lot of this stuff and just make it really

1772
01:34:47.199 --> 01:34:49.720
easy for like on a point and click basis, like

get a package set up for your people that works.

1774
01:34:52.279 --> 01:34:52.439
Well.

1775
01:34:52.479 --> 01:34:54.439
Do you have like a one sheet that these small

1776
01:34:54.520 --> 01:34:56.199
business is going to go, you know, because we just

1777
01:34:56.279 --> 01:34:58.159
touched on some things that are really important for them

1778
01:34:58.439 --> 01:35:01.399
to communicate and get feedback from their employees. Is there

1779
01:35:01.520 --> 01:35:03.840
like a one sheet that's available there at Gusto that

1780
01:35:04.439 --> 01:35:06.800
they could pull up real quick and say, hey, you know,

1781
01:35:07.119 --> 01:35:09.000
hand it out to their employees and say, tell me

1782
01:35:09.079 --> 01:35:10.439
what's most important.

1783
01:35:10.720 --> 01:35:12.720
Oh yeah, we've got everything you would need. So if

1784
01:35:12.760 --> 01:35:15.800
you go to Gusto dot com slash benefits, we've got

1785
01:35:16.079 --> 01:35:18.880
tools there and we've got people there to support and

1786
01:35:19.319 --> 01:35:21.840
that's pretty much everything you'll need to sort of take

1787
01:35:21.880 --> 01:35:25.039
a first pass and see if you can find a

1788
01:35:25.079 --> 01:35:27.680
way to take care of your people with the health

1789
01:35:27.720 --> 01:35:29.119
benefits packers that fit your budget.

1790
01:35:29.640 --> 01:35:31.840
Well. Like anything, when it's the first time you've done it,

1791
01:35:31.880 --> 01:35:35.279
it may seem a little bit overwhelming, but take some time,

1792
01:35:35.359 --> 01:35:38.279
do some planning, and to make sure, like you said,

1793
01:35:38.319 --> 01:35:40.640
doctor Chamberlain, that you're not leaving any money on the table,

1794
01:35:40.920 --> 01:35:44.279
that you're leveraging your full investment for the best benefit

1795
01:35:44.640 --> 01:35:47.960
not only for the company, but for the individuals most importantly.

1796
01:35:48.079 --> 01:35:49.880
Right, that's right, that's right.

1797
01:35:49.920 --> 01:35:53.720
And you know, the research shows that offering health benefits

1798
01:35:53.960 --> 01:35:57.359
is a powerful way to retain your best employees. We found,

1799
01:35:57.399 --> 01:35:59.319
you know, people that get health insurance are twenty five

1800
01:35:59.359 --> 01:36:01.039
percent more likely to stay on their job in the

1801
01:36:01.079 --> 01:36:02.960
first year. So it's kind of a no brainer for

1802
01:36:03.079 --> 01:36:04.640
keeping your best people well.

1803
01:36:04.680 --> 01:36:06.760
Again, as we wrap things up, where can small business

1804
01:36:06.800 --> 01:36:08.119
owners go for more information?

1805
01:36:09.279 --> 01:36:12.520
Come visit us at Gusto dot com slash benefits and

1806
01:36:12.640 --> 01:36:14.119

1809

Great to be here.

1810
01:36:18.880 --> 01:36:19.359
Bill, Thank you.

1811
01:36:19.520 --> 01:36:19.760
Got it.

1812
01:36:21.880 --> 01:36:25.760
More fiber and laxatives. Ah, who are you? I'm future

1813
01:36:25.840 --> 01:36:29.560
you future me. Constipation with belly pain still coming back.

1814
01:36:29.800 --> 01:36:32.600
Our doctor figured it out. It's irritable bowel syndrome with

1815
01:36:32.680 --> 01:36:36.520
constipation or IBSC, and Linzes could help you get ahead

1816
01:36:36.520 --> 01:36:36.640
of it.

1817
01:36:37.000 --> 01:36:40.520
Linzeslnaclotite is a prescription medicine that treats IBSC and adults.

1818
01:36:40.760 --> 01:36:42.800
It's not a laxative. It's a one daily pill that

1819
01:36:42.880 --> 01:36:45.119
helps you get ahead of your symptoms. It's proven to

1820
01:36:45.159 --> 01:36:47.359

helps relieve overall adominal symptoms belly pain, discomfort, and bloating.

1822
01:36:51.359 --> 01:36:54.239
These symptoms were studied in combination, not individually. Do not

1823
01:36:54.319 --> 01:36:56.680
give linzas to children less than two, it may harm them.

1824
01:36:56.800 --> 01:36:58.680
Do not take lenzas if you have a bowel blocket.

Welcome back to America, Bill Martinez here.

1894
01:40:27.359 --> 01:40:28.279
Great to have you with us.

1895
01:40:28.359 --> 01:40:31.399
Also great to have my good friend doctor Bonner Cohen

1896
01:40:31.560 --> 01:40:34.960
joining us, co author of Beyond COVID nineteen and we

1897
01:40:35.079 --> 01:40:36.279
are well beyond that now.

1898
01:40:36.439 --> 01:40:36.920
Thank God.

1899
01:40:37.479 --> 01:40:40.680
He's also a senior policy analyst for the Committee for

1900
01:40:40.760 --> 01:40:43.039
a Constructive Tomorrow, Doctor.

1901
01:40:42.880 --> 01:40:44.760
Bonner, good to have you with us, Howury, sir, Good

1902
01:40:44.840 --> 01:40:46.279
to be here, Bill Well.

1903
01:40:46.840 --> 01:40:51.279
America is realizing we have got to unlock our vast

1904
01:40:51.439 --> 01:40:52.439
mineral potential.

1905
01:40:52.600 --> 01:40:57.479
Right, That's absolutely true, and we are taking steps to

1906
01:40:57.640 --> 01:41:01.000
do so. And it will not be an exercise gratification.

1907
01:41:01.880 --> 01:41:05.520
But we have turned the corner on the neglect that

1908
01:41:05.720 --> 01:41:11.960
we carried out over administration after administration going on thirty

1909
01:41:12.159 --> 01:41:17.039
years or so. The United States is richly endowed, not

1910
01:41:17.319 --> 01:41:20.760
just but oil and natural gas and coal, but also

1911
01:41:21.159 --> 01:41:26.319
with precious metals. But those precious metals have to be extracted,

1912
01:41:26.840 --> 01:41:29.520
and in the case of rare earths and others, they

1913
01:41:29.600 --> 01:41:33.520
also have to be refined. And if we want to

1914
01:41:33.600 --> 01:41:38.279
stay competitive in the global economy and rise to the

1915
01:41:38.479 --> 01:41:42.720
challenge that China poses, we're going to have to do this,

1916
01:41:43.520 --> 01:41:47.079
and the Trump administration is taking several steps to do so.

1917
01:41:49.159 --> 01:41:49.520
We have.

1918
01:41:51.560 --> 01:41:55.880
Entered into policies that will, for instance, open up a

1919
01:41:56.600 --> 01:42:03.680
much needed mining road and the remote stretches of northwestern

1920
01:42:03.920 --> 01:42:10.119
Alaska exactly where there are enormous deposits of things that

1921
01:42:10.479 --> 01:42:16.760
have both commercial and military applications. We are also recognizing

1922
01:42:16.920 --> 01:42:21.000
the importance of rare earths, and billis I'm sure you

1923
01:42:21.199 --> 01:42:25.039
and many of our listeners know that's something of the misnomer.

1924
01:42:25.159 --> 01:42:28.600
They're not rare, they're all over the place, but they're

1925
01:42:28.680 --> 01:42:32.840
extremely difficult to extract because they're mixed in with so

1926
01:42:33.039 --> 01:42:36.199
many other things. So it's not well the goals over here,

1927
01:42:37.640 --> 01:42:40.239
I no, No, these things are wrapped around everything. So

1928
01:42:40.600 --> 01:42:42.920
you have to do two things. You have to get

1929
01:42:43.000 --> 01:42:46.119
them out and then you have to refine them. Now,

1930
01:42:46.199 --> 01:42:49.199
the Chinese, who have a culture that goes back five

1931
01:42:49.279 --> 01:42:53.800
thousand years, take quite understandably a long term view of

1932
01:42:53.880 --> 01:42:57.960
these things, and they recognize how important it is to

1933
01:42:58.199 --> 01:43:02.560
have a virtual strangle hold on the global supply chain

1934
01:43:03.279 --> 01:43:05.359
of rare earths. It's not that they have all these

1935
01:43:05.479 --> 01:43:08.439
rare earths in China. They have some, of course, but

1936
01:43:09.199 --> 01:43:12.720
they have gone to Africa and do South America and

1937
01:43:13.000 --> 01:43:18.760
elsewhere close lucrative deals with local officials, which means money

1938
01:43:18.880 --> 01:43:19.600
changes hands.

1939
01:43:19.640 --> 01:43:23.960
But yeah, exactly, of course, yes, right, and they are.

1940
01:43:24.039 --> 01:43:27.680
Extracting them there. The important thing about the Chinese is

1941
01:43:27.840 --> 01:43:32.840
they not only extract whether domestically or elsewhere, but they

1942
01:43:33.039 --> 01:43:37.880
also refine and this is where the United States currently

1943
01:43:38.159 --> 01:43:39.800
is so far behind.

1944
01:43:39.920 --> 01:43:40.600
Right exactly.

1945
01:43:40.720 --> 01:43:43.800
Yeah, while we were sitting back, they were progressing in

1946
01:43:43.920 --> 01:43:48.880
the development of these materials and the refinement processes and technology.

1947
01:43:49.279 --> 01:43:51.439
So yes, we've got some catching up to do here.

1948
01:43:51.720 --> 01:43:53.479
But the good news, as you say, Bonner, is that

1949
01:43:53.760 --> 01:43:56.000
it's not like we have to go out like China

1950
01:43:56.039 --> 01:43:57.840
and go out and capture and make a bunch of

1951
01:43:58.000 --> 01:44:03.000
outside deals. But you know, and I want to rewind

1952
01:44:03.039 --> 01:44:05.159
here for just a moment, if it's okay with you,

1953
01:44:05.880 --> 01:44:10.119
doctor Cohen, because how we got here in terms of

1954
01:44:10.960 --> 01:44:16.840
subordinating our resources and our development outside of the country,

1955
01:44:17.319 --> 01:44:20.319
and that dynamic tension is still alive and well within

1956
01:44:20.399 --> 01:44:23.439
our country and these that's being driven by these globalists

1957
01:44:23.800 --> 01:44:27.119
that are not loyal to America. This is why Trump

1958
01:44:27.279 --> 01:44:31.319
is such an anethema to them, because Trump saying America first, Well,

1959
01:44:31.439 --> 01:44:36.880
that isn't consistent with the globalist mantra or their ambitions,

1960
01:44:37.000 --> 01:44:37.119
is it.

1961
01:44:38.039 --> 01:44:43.520
Yes, we have been engaging in unilateral de industrialization for

1962
01:44:44.119 --> 01:44:47.960
decades and we are going to pay duly for it

1963
01:44:48.239 --> 01:44:52.439
unless we turn that policy around, which fortunately we are

1964
01:44:52.640 --> 01:44:56.439
in the process of doing. And you're quite right, the

1965
01:44:56.520 --> 01:45:01.720
globalist element in the United States doesn't want that at all.

1966
01:45:02.119 --> 01:45:04.600
Of course, the environmental movement for a long long time

1967
01:45:04.800 --> 01:45:08.760
was vehemently opposed to all forms of mining, until they

1968
01:45:08.880 --> 01:45:12.319
discovered that if you're going to have electric vehicles going

1969
01:45:12.399 --> 01:45:15.800
all over the place, you needed raw materials to power

1970
01:45:15.840 --> 01:45:19.479
the batteries. So they had to do shall we see

1971
01:45:19.520 --> 01:45:21.760
a certain dance there all of a sudden, Well, not

1972
01:45:21.920 --> 01:45:26.039
all mining was bad. There are also structural problems that

1973
01:45:26.119 --> 01:45:31.680
we have getting permits to mining under the current regime,

1974
01:45:31.960 --> 01:45:34.840
which again has been in place for a long long time.

1975
01:45:35.640 --> 01:45:40.520
It takes a month of Sundays to get permits required

1976
01:45:40.840 --> 01:45:45.119
to mind, that process needs to be speeded up, which

1977
01:45:45.159 --> 01:45:49.319
the Trump administration is in the process of doing. Otherwise,

1978
01:45:49.520 --> 01:45:53.439
if it's not, we will never catch up with a Chinese.

1979
01:45:53.159 --> 01:45:54.119
Without without a doubt.

1980
01:45:54.560 --> 01:45:57.159
Right, Yeah, Well in the dealer is again this is

1981
01:45:57.319 --> 01:45:59.960
where America has kind of locked itself in a corner.

1982
01:46:00.079 --> 01:46:01.840
And thank God for Donald Trump, because he's got the

1983
01:46:01.960 --> 01:46:06.359
keys to open up the doors and release this this

1984
01:46:06.600 --> 01:46:08.239
power and authority.

1985
01:46:09.640 --> 01:46:10.840
Through deregulation.

1986
01:46:11.399 --> 01:46:14.279
I mean initially, if you recall, in his first administration,

1987
01:46:14.439 --> 01:46:17.039
they said the goal was for every new regulation they

1988
01:46:17.079 --> 01:46:19.079
had to get rid of two. Well, it got up

1989
01:46:19.079 --> 01:46:21.000
to a point where it was one to eighteen, almost

1990
01:46:21.039 --> 01:46:24.159
one to twenty, you know, in terms of elimination of regulations.

1991
01:46:24.199 --> 01:46:26.279
That's how many regulations are out there, right.

1992
01:46:26.239 --> 01:46:31.439
Bonner, that's right. And you know the resources that are

1993
01:46:31.520 --> 01:46:38.239
going to go into products, be they smartphones, jet fighter engines,

1994
01:46:38.439 --> 01:46:41.960
what have you. We're going to use those resources anyway.

1995
01:46:42.039 --> 01:46:43.560
So it's just a matter of where are we going

1996
01:46:43.640 --> 01:46:46.720
to get them? Now we have those resources here in

1997
01:46:46.760 --> 01:46:50.560
the United States in abundance, do we really want to

1998
01:46:51.960 --> 01:46:57.560
block off our access to those resources and instead import

1999
01:46:57.720 --> 01:47:01.680
those resources from the people the Republic of China or

2000
01:47:01.800 --> 01:47:05.039
some other not so friendly power, or do we want

2001
01:47:05.119 --> 01:47:07.920
to use our own resources. It's not a matter of

2002
01:47:08.039 --> 01:47:10.199
we can't do that, No, we will have to do that.

2003
01:47:10.720 --> 01:47:10.840
Right.

2004
01:47:11.119 --> 01:47:14.000
Well, in China's teaching us, isn't you know, aren't they

2005
01:47:14.399 --> 01:47:17.680
because of what they're doing right now with you know,

2006
01:47:17.800 --> 01:47:21.000
with with the tariff war that's and I say small war,

2007
01:47:21.239 --> 01:47:27.000
small w war that's going on over these minerals. You know,

2008
01:47:27.119 --> 01:47:30.960
they're they're holding back and because but the deal is

2009
01:47:31.159 --> 01:47:33.399
is that America's got a card to play against them

2010
01:47:33.439 --> 01:47:37.079
as well. And meanwhile, what it is. It's motivating the

2011
01:47:37.279 --> 01:47:40.560
mindset of all Americans, that is that we need to

2012
01:47:40.600 --> 01:47:43.039
be self sufficient, especially when we have the capability.

2013
01:47:43.159 --> 01:47:48.399
Right. Yes, I think the Chinese leadership has completely miscalculated

2014
01:47:49.000 --> 01:47:55.119
by putting a quasi export ban on the export of

2015
01:47:55.600 --> 01:47:57.880
rare earths to the United States and frankly of the

2016
01:47:57.920 --> 01:47:59.920
rest of the world. But it was obviously aimed at us.

2017
01:48:00.079 --> 01:48:06.359
They don't care about exporting mineral's delision Stein, Okay, they're

2018
01:48:06.439 --> 01:48:11.840
interested in us. They have given Trump yet another good

2019
01:48:12.119 --> 01:48:17.279
argument to use and to push his agenda along to

2020
01:48:17.600 --> 01:48:22.479
extract those rare earths and other critical minerals, to refine

2021
01:48:22.560 --> 01:48:26.720
them and keep the United States globally competitive. So I

2022
01:48:26.840 --> 01:48:30.319
think what the Chinese did actually will backfire. Had they

2023
01:48:30.439 --> 01:48:32.920
done that when Biden was in the White House, it

2024
01:48:32.960 --> 01:48:36.039
would have been a smart move. Doing it when Trump's

2025
01:48:36.079 --> 01:48:38.159
in the White House was really dumb.

2026
01:48:38.760 --> 01:48:42.479
Right, exactly how long do you think it'll take? It's

2027
01:48:42.600 --> 01:48:43.039
going to.

2028
01:48:43.199 --> 01:48:48.560
Take several years. Again, we can speed up the permitting

2029
01:48:48.640 --> 01:48:54.159
process and get capital invested in this because it requires

2030
01:48:54.199 --> 01:48:56.840
a lot of money upfront, and you want private capitals.

2031
01:48:56.880 --> 01:48:59.920
But you imagine how much private capital I mean there,

2032
01:49:00.039 --> 01:49:02.279
do you talk about gold in them dar Hills Bonner,

2033
01:49:02.520 --> 01:49:04.640
Oh yes, oh yeah, exactly.

2034
01:49:05.159 --> 01:49:10.479
Give investors incentives to investigate because the potential reward here

2035
01:49:10.800 --> 01:49:14.880
is absolutely enormous and it's not going to be just

2036
01:49:14.960 --> 01:49:17.359
as something that happens overnight. This is going to go

2037
01:49:17.439 --> 01:49:20.119
on for years. It's going to go on for decades.

2038
01:49:20.720 --> 01:49:27.680
So provide those investors with the incentives continue to dismantle

2039
01:49:28.119 --> 01:49:32.359
a completely counter productive regulatory structure that we have, and

2040
01:49:33.000 --> 01:49:35.399
we we can get there sooner than a lot of

2041
01:49:35.439 --> 01:49:38.159
people think. Not overnight, but it can happen. But the

2042
01:49:38.279 --> 01:49:41.960
important thing is we've got to reverse course and reverse immediately.

2043
01:49:42.239 --> 01:49:44.039
Yeah, we need a World War two mindset.

2044
01:49:44.319 --> 01:49:47.840
You know that we had right Oh well, Rosie Deriveters

2045
01:49:47.840 --> 01:49:50.800
and everybody coming out, and you know, in terms of

2046
01:49:50.880 --> 01:49:54.439
a sense of urgency to make this happen. Two minutes

2047
01:49:54.520 --> 01:49:56.680
left here, and I do want to talk. I took

2048
01:49:56.720 --> 01:49:58.359
you off course and drew you away because I wanted to,

2049
01:49:58.680 --> 01:50:00.399
you know, give people a little bit of back, which

2050
01:50:00.399 --> 01:50:02.439
I think is important for them to understand where we are.

2051
01:50:03.079 --> 01:50:05.640
But I want to talk about Alaska. So go ahead

2052
01:50:05.720 --> 01:50:07.640
for the last two minutes, we'll talk about what's going

2053
01:50:07.680 --> 01:50:07.960
on there.

2054
01:50:08.239 --> 01:50:16.159
Yeah, Alaska, which has enormous resources precious metals, particularly in

2055
01:50:16.279 --> 01:50:19.960
this area of northwest Alaska. The problem is how do

2056
01:50:19.960 --> 01:50:23.319
you get them out? Well, you need a mining road,

2057
01:50:24.039 --> 01:50:28.880
and the Trump administration has just handed down an edict

2058
01:50:29.640 --> 01:50:34.720
to bureaucrats around the federal government that have oversight over

2059
01:50:34.800 --> 01:50:39.239
this approve the permits for this two hundred and twelve

2060
01:50:39.680 --> 01:50:45.359
mile long mining road that will enable mining equipment to

2061
01:50:45.560 --> 01:50:47.760
get in so that we can get to these medals.

2062
01:50:48.479 --> 01:50:53.439
Over one thousand and seven hundred claims have already been

2063
01:50:53.600 --> 01:50:59.119
filed on various sites within this mining area, which tells

2064
01:50:59.199 --> 01:51:01.960
me that the geologists have taken a look at this

2065
01:51:02.239 --> 01:51:06.720
and said, wow, there's a lot there. Let's file a claim.

2066
01:51:07.399 --> 01:51:13.039
The Biden administration, being true to itself, of course, block

2067
01:51:13.199 --> 01:51:16.439
that Trump approved it the final year of his first term.

2068
01:51:17.000 --> 01:51:20.239
That was reversed under Biden. No surprise. Now now Trump

2069
01:51:20.399 --> 01:51:23.399
is reversing Biden and they're going ahead with the mining road.

2070
01:51:24.039 --> 01:51:26.399
Well, how's Murkowski responding to this? Bonne?

2071
01:51:26.560 --> 01:51:30.039
Actually it's in Alaska, and usually she's a troublemaker, which

2072
01:51:30.079 --> 01:51:32.600
is as polite a term as as I can use.

2073
01:51:33.439 --> 01:51:36.800
We may have younger people listening to this, but actually

2074
01:51:36.840 --> 01:51:39.640
it's in Alaska. In this case, it's not a problem.

2075
01:51:40.000 --> 01:51:40.159
Right.

2076
01:51:40.279 --> 01:51:42.199
I was going to say, I would think that she'd

2077
01:51:42.239 --> 01:51:46.199
be helping the champion the cause and maybe make uh

2078
01:51:46.640 --> 01:51:50.279
maybe rename the road to Murkowski, yes, opposed to Hamley.

2079
01:51:50.760 --> 01:51:52.439
Yeah, I'm all for it. Yeah, if that's what it

2080
01:51:52.520 --> 01:51:53.439
takes it.

2081
01:51:53.960 --> 01:51:57.279
Yeah, exactly, let's go ahead and make that happen right away.

2082
01:51:57.640 --> 01:51:57.720
Uh.

2083
01:51:58.119 --> 01:52:00.720
